Motorcycle & Dirt Bike Suspension Services & Tuning
At 395 Motorsports, we don’t just service your suspension — we optimize it. Suspension is one of the most crucial components of any off-road or motocross bike, affecting traction, handling, comfort, rider confidence, and overall performance. Whether you’re racing motocross, charging on rugged trails, or prepping for a big ride, having the right suspension setup can make all the difference.
What Motorcycle Suspension Does & Why It Matters
Your suspension system — including forks up front and the shock assembly in the rear — acts as a bridge between your bike and the terrain. It does three key things:
- Absorb Impacts and Maintain Control — A properly tuned fork and shock help your bike absorb bumps, whoops, rocks, jumps, and rough terrain without throwing you off line.
- Increase Traction & Stability — Better suspension keeps tires planted on the ground, improving braking, acceleration, and cornering confidence.
- Improve Rider Comfort & Safety — Suspension that’s dialed for your weight and style reduces rider fatigue, arm pump, and crashes caused by unpredictable chassis behavior.
Suspension Basics Every Rider Should Know
Understanding your suspension helps you communicate your needs and evaluate performance improvements.
Sag — This is how much your bike settles under its own weight and with you on it. Correct sag ensures the suspension starts in the optimal part of its travel.
Preload — Adjusting preload changes how “soft” or “firm” your suspension feels when you sit on the bike.
Damping (Compression & Rebound) —
Compression controls how the suspension absorbs impact forces.
Rebound controls how quickly the suspension returns after compression.
Small changes here can dramatically affect how the bike feels and performs.

When You Know It’s Time for Suspension Work
If your bike shows any of these symptoms, it’s a sign your suspension isn’t dialed:
Excessive bottoming on jumps
Harsh landings that jolt the chassis
Poor traction or wandering through rough sections
Nose-diving under braking
Fatigue during long rides
Professional tuning can transform how your motorcycle feels and performs.
Suspension Upgrades & Add-Ons
Besides standard service, we also offer performance upgrades like lowering kits, progressive springs, and adjuster kits that help you fine-tune ride height and handling dynamics. These options are great for riders who want a custom setup that goes beyond stock.
