Installing the suspensions on your motorcycle

Installing suspensions can be relatively straightforward as many of the suspension systems we offer are designed for easy, DIY installation. For rear shock absorbers, the general rule is to replace them one at a time, while front forks may require basic mechanical knowledge and the right tools. However, for more complex setups or if you're unsure about the process, we recommend seeking the help of a professional mechanic to ensure everything is installed properly and safely.

*When the suspensions from a certain brand in our selection are made for a specific model, this will be mentioned on the relevant product page. If you're unsure about the compatibility of the suspension with your motorcycle, try searching online via a search engine or forum to find out if the dimensions and specifications are compatible. Unfortunately, we cannot provide a definitive answer for every product, nor do we always receive the correct information from our suppliers.*

How do motorcycle suspensions work?

Motorcycle suspensions—both front and rear—have a primary function: to keep the tires in contact with the ground. They also support the weight of the bike while maintaining traction and control on uneven surfaces. The suspension system consists of springs to absorb shocks and a damping mechanism to control the compression and rebound. The front suspension (forks) handles bumps, braking, and cornering, while the rear shock absorbers control excess spring motion. Properly functioning suspensions significantly improve your bike’s handling and comfort, giving you a safer and smoother ride.

What quantifies the price of the suspension? 

At Cafe Racer Webshop, the price of suspension parts depend on the brand and quality. We offer premium rear shocks from brands like YSS and Hagon, as well as affordable options from brands like Emgo. For the front suspension, we have high-quality springs from Hagon and complete front fork upgrade kits from Tarozzi. Prices vary depending on the specific model and compatibility with different bikes, but whether you’re looking for a premium or budget-friendly choice, we’ve got the perfect option for you.

How do I know what type of suspension fit on my motorcycle?

To choose the right suspension, it’s crucial to consider your bike’s make and model as well as your riding style. Not all suspensions are universal, but here at Cafe Racer Webshop, we offer custom-built front and rear suspensions to make the process easier for you. Different suspensions are designed to handle specific conditions—whether you’re aiming for maximum comfort, high performance, or off-road durability.

How do I check my front and rear suspensions?

Regular inspection is key to ensuring your suspension is in good shape. Signs of deterioration include a bumpier-than-usual ride, poor rebound, sagging suspension, or leaking fluid. Whether it’s the front forks or the rear shocks, pay close attention to unusual noises or stiffness when compressing. Since suspension setup is a critical aspect of riding safety, it’s best to assess your bike’s condition individually rather than following general guidelines.

How often do I have to replace them?

Both front forks and rear shock absorbers can wear out over time, which can be dangerous if left unchecked. Generally, it's suggested to check the condition of your suspensions roughly every 20,000-40,000 km for on-road motorcycles. Off-road motorcycles experience more stress, so it’s recommended to replace or service the suspensions more frequently, especially after a demanding riding season. If you ever notice that something feels off or your ride isn't as smooth as usual, it's likely time for a check-up or replacement.
