Harsh or deflecting?
We separate spring, damping, friction, geometry, tyre and maintenance causes before spending your money.

Transmoto Suspension Prep
12 hours is a long time to fight a badly set-up motorcycle.
Mountain Race Shop prepares dirt-bike suspension around the rider, the bike and the job it has to do. We diagnose the problem first, then recommend servicing, springs, revalving—or nothing more than setup changes if that is all the bike needs.
Tell us what the bike is doing
Endurance riding magnifies small suspension problems
A problem that is annoying for twenty minutes can become exhausting after hours of braking bumps, roots, rocks and changing grip.
Kicking or packing?
We look at rebound balance, spring suitability, shock condition, ride height and traction—not just one clicker.
Diving or bottoming?
We diagnose support through spring rate, preload, damping, oil height, chassis attitude and rider use.
Transmoto preparation
Start with diagnosis. Do only what the bike needs.
Setup & Diagnosis
Sag, chassis balance, clicker settings, spring suitability and symptom-led fault diagnosis.
$50 Setup Saturdays on selected dates. The full $50 is credited if recommended suspension work is booked within 30 days.
View Setup SaturdaysFork Service — $320
Off-bike fork service, inspection, oil, bleed, oil height and baseline settings. Wear parts are extra if required and confirmed first.
Fork service detailsShock Service — $340
Off-bike shock service and inspection, including oil, gas system and baseline setup direction. Wear parts are extra if required and confirmed first.
Shock service detailsFork + Shock — $600
Complete off-bike suspension service for riders who want both ends inspected, serviced and returned to a known baseline before the event.
Book fork + shockSprings & Revalving
If servicing and external adjustment cannot solve the problem, we can engineer spring and damping changes around rider weight, pace and terrain.
Revalving detailsCanberra Monday Pickup
Canberra pickup is available on Mondays for riders who cannot get the bike or loose suspension to the workshop.
Book pickupThe Mountain Race Shop approach
We don't start with the modification.
We start with the rider complaint: harshness, kicking, diving, deflection, poor grip, fatigue or a bike that simply will not hold a line.
From there we work through sag, spring suitability, service condition, chassis balance and damping before recommending parts or internal changes.
Diagnose. Engineer. Tune. Teach.
Diagnose
Find the real cause rather than chasing clickers.
Engineer
Choose the minimum change that solves the actual problem.
Tune
Build a usable baseline for rider, bike and terrain.
Teach
Leave understanding what changed and why.
Don't leave it until race week.
Allow enough time for inspection, servicing, parts supply and any setup changes before 24–25 October. If you are unsure what the bike needs, start with diagnosis rather than ordering parts blindly.
