So what is it all going to cost?
It is hard to estimate cost without tearing forks and shocks down and inspecting them. Below is an average estimate of total cost. 40 hours is a worst case scenario for normal service intervals, so that is an estimate on the higher end. Of course, if the bike has been ridden far past normal service intervals, wear and conditions could be worse. Parts replaced are always as needed and on inspection. Here are some general guidelines:
Note: Over the last couple of years, cost of goods has risen steadily, so prices are subject to change, and quotes are valid for 30 days.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED SPRINGS?
The basic guidelines for bikes is as follows:
65cc (60-80lbs)
85 cc (80-100lbs)
125cc (130-150)
250cc (140-160)
450cc (160-180)
If the rider is above or below any of these weights you will generally need springs. Of course these are very general guidelines, as makes, models, and intended use vary widely.
If you have questions, we can help with spring selection and installation.
IS THERE A GUARANTEE
Yes. All work has a satisfaction guarantee. If the rider does not like the suspension after he receives it, then 2 changes/re-valves will be free until said rider is happy with the performance.
All mechanical work is guaranteed for 30 days. If anything fails it will be fixed for free unless damage from a crash or extreme use is detected. Extreme use being mud race with standing water/water in the suspension. Damage to a fork tube or shock body from a crash or another rider will not be covered.
Customer supplied parts will not be warrantied for parts, labor, or fluids. We use the highest quality parts to do our best to eliminate comeback issues associated with low quality replacements.
DO I NEED TO HAVE MY SUSPENSION REVALVED?
Realistically only you can answer this question. If you are perfectly happy with the suspension performance, are within the guidelines of recommended weight then it may not be needed. If a rider approaches us for suspension work, and doesn't have any complaints, but thinks it can be better, changes will be made upon a consensus of riders who have ridden the bike and what changes they requested.
