r1crusher Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'm out for round 1 and probably round 2. I guess 4 weeks isn't enough time to get suspension serviced. Seems that it takes several weeks to get springs and week to get the cap extenders. Oh well, guess I'll just have more time to get the new toy hauler prep'd.

r1crusher Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Either he's up to his eyeballs in suspension services and super busy and/or it will really take several weeks to get springs...Then put all the stuff together and send it back to me. Don't know what to think but I'm not happy I'm going to miss 2 rounds, especially Putnam. Oh well, after this service is done everything will be right and I'll just do the forks myself from now on and only send out the shock. I thought I got my stuff in before the big rush but I'm guessing not now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 FWIW, from talking to a lot of shops last year when I was trying to get my suspension done they informed me that if you don't get stuff in by January, it's in their "busy" season. They recommened I pull everything right after the season and send it in then. That was Pegrams, AFJ Shop, Reuben, and Iron Pony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I think I got lucky with the turnaround on mine. Edited April 21, 2014 by blue03636 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiztedRabbit Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Pretty common. . I know quite a few. Shops are backlogged on basic track maintenance right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Clay Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Kevin, It wont be the same without you.........I'm sure you can buy used take-off suspension pretty cheap and It doesnt matter if you have works suspension your still getting your ass whipped by a supermoto. Just you and I Stevie!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 The day you start whipping my ass on a sumo is the day I convert the 1000 over and then I won't have to deal with your ass slowing me down everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Clay Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 You better start converting...........I got a bag of double-stuffed on it!!!!

A knowledgeable suspension guy should be able to strip and service anything in a couple hours. If that same guy could only manage to do 2 sets of forks a day, that's 10 sets of forks serviced in a week. Do all of these guys have 100's of forks waiting to be worked on that all just showed up 2 weeks ago??? Meh....it doesn't matter. Forks and shock will get done when parts arrive and he gets time to finish them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood33 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Dude, that's retarded. Tell them to ship you your shit back so you can ride, and give you a date that they can actually do the work and you'll have them shipped back by that date. I don't know, that shit wouldn't fly with me. Unless you shipped the forks to them knowing they wouldn't get to it for a month... then it's your own damn fault.

r1crusher Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I sent them in fully expecting not to get them back until the end of the month which would be almost 4 full weeks, at worst case. I did not get a time estimate as I thought that would be more than enough time. So I guess it's my own fault?? Like I said, I'm not sure how things like this always seems to be so slow to turn around. It's not like I send my stuff off to some major corporate suspension manufacturing and service center for the entire east coast. I'm not happy but I all I can do is well....not be happy about the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 that's why I stick with the well known more local people that will, A: get your stuff done quickly, and B: be around for support at the track. Mark Junge with MCJ Motorsports will be doing my suspension. Nothing like one of the best all around guys who will stop what he's doing and pull your fork apart because "it doens't feel right", find the problem, put it all back together and not ask for a dime. Mark is located in Ashland, provides at the track service, and has more knowledge, experience, and equipment than pretty much anyone.

Hollywood33 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 So they've already had them for a month? Yeah that's bullshit. How long did they say it would take when you sent the forks to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
