Lee’s bagger is NEXT LEVEL!!! Too many upgrades

Lee’s bagger is NEXT LEVEL!!! Too many upgrades to list, but we helped him with the Ohlins forks and Ohlins shocks. The installation of the 21” front wheel caused some handling challenges that we needed to iron out. All should be awesome now!!!!!

2025 MAVERICK SET UP. Kevin was dismayed how low in the suspension travel his new UTV was and how hard the suspension felt right from the dealership. We did a full set up on it and installed FCR racing billet nitrogen caps to replace the leaky Fox shock N2 caps, and in the end LIFTED IT UP BY 4” THE RIGHT WAY!!!!

We set preload, damping and crossover point to give maximum bump comfort. Can’t wait to hear how he likes it!!!!!

HARLEY RIDERS: Ready for a dramatic improvement

HARLEY RIDERS:

Ready for a dramatic improvement in comfort for your awesome ride? We offer a few different shocks for the back of this American cruiser in 12 and 13" (plus custom if needed). Our favourite shocks are the CANADIAN MADE STADIUM SHOCKS that have dual rate springs to ensure maximum comfort up top, but stronger anti bottoming down low when your passenger hops on or you load up the saddlebags. For under $1400 for the rebound only versions, they outperform more expensive shocks hands down. Super close in the performance and value category are our other favourite brands Ohlins and K-Tech. Contact us today to order yours. 👍😁

Yes we do matching fork springs and cartridges too for the ultimate in ride improvement.

TECH TIP: Wiggle your shifter. This one is loose at 2600 km!

There’s a ton of moving parts on your shifter and they all see a lot of lateral friction and resistance. The actual actuator clamped on the spine holds one of the most common bolts that comes loose on a motorcycle, it just backs out over time and use. So do yourself a favour today, lol wiggle your shifter and look at what’s moving and how much it’s moving.

Just because they say OHLINS on them, doesn't mean

Just because they say OHLINS on them, doesn't mean they are so awesome that they never need service! These forks were disgusting LOL.

LESSON: Forks eat brake dust. The abrasive particulate that sprays out of your calipers every time you grab your brakes hard, lands right on the forks. Then guess what, the front end dives at exactly the same time and over time, gets by the wipers and then the seals. Then it sits in the bushings and wears out the tubes. As this process occurs, the forks get stickier and stickier as dirt and brake dust doesn't slide very well. Tire wear escalates and handling deteriorates.

Give your suspension some love. Give us a call.

Last month we did a Harley Shock shoot out comparing several different suspension offerings and their performance on the shock Dyno. We then rated them accordingly on several different criteria. We compared the Ohlins, the K-Tech, Stadium and Legend shocks offered for the Harley twin shock applications. Check it out before you buy, there were some surprises in quality for sure!!!

IF YOU OWN ONE OF THESE, PLEASE see a suspension shop, they are dangerously under sprung and under damped. Perhaps the worst calibrated motorcycle I have ever seen. The front fork damping is ok, but the fork spring, (yes only one on one side) is too light for most adults. The rear shock however, is crap.

We did the math and it is sprung for a 6’1”, 20-40 pound rider. YES 20 - 40 POUND RIDER!!! Have you ever seen a human that meets that criteria? It has almost no preload adjustability, has NO damping adjustability, has the wrong spring for any human and is calibrated poorly.

We can get full competition shocks with reservoirs, compression and rebound, but this little K-Tech is SUPER reasonable and looks stock if you are worried about theft. Easily the BEST upgrade you can do to this otherwise amazing little Honda. Contact us for your options. 705-657-9490

TECH TIP: You would be amazed at how much dirt gets into your steering head bearing area. Where does it come from? We always assume it comes in from around the seals, but often the OEMs put big gaping holes in the frame during manufacture and painting. This is where a lot of the contamination will enter the inside of the frame and fall into the bearing area.

Do yourself a favour and use some heavy vinyl or even tape to cover up these holes. Often a rubber plug can be sourced if the hole is the right diameter. Your service interval for your head bearings will triple if you do this simple task.

A cool bike with amazing suspension!!! It was a pleasure setting up this Kawi Z900 RS with Ohlins suspension. Sometimes a retro looking modern bike just ticks all the boxes. What do you think of this beast???

We had a wonderful time welcoming A.J. Lester, and the crew from Dirt Trax Television today. Elka sent a set of Stage 5 ATV shock absorbers for their Yamaha Canada Grizzly project.

We filmed the install and discussed tuning, dual rate springs, compression and rebound damping.

Keep an eye out for the episode coming soon!

The heart beat of performance!! These new Yamaha Grizzly shocks have some of the nicest valving curves I have seen from Elka. Excellent curves gently getting stronger as the shaft speeds escalate with excellent adjustability from the rebound and compression clickers.

Accelerated Technologies is excited to work with Dirt Trax Magazine to build this Grizzly suspension into something next level.
