MH Suspension

MH Suspension Specialist knowledge in Advanced Suspension Technology with over 20 years of professional experience

MH Suspension, is tucked away in a small North Wiltshire village of Lower Seagry, close to the famous Castle Coombe racing circuit. It was formed in 1989 by motorcycle racing specialist Mark Hammond. During five highly successful seasons Mark became the leading GP MX technician to legendary riders including Willie Simpson, Jeremy Whatley and Jorgen Nilsson. Throughout this time, Mark Hammond was a

lso seconded to work in Holland for world champions the WP racing team. In these early years, Mark spent doing all types of repairs but also tuning off-road and track bikes. He won numerous prestigious championships along the way including the ACU, AMCA and BSMA in both adult and schoolboy ranks. As time went on, MH Suspension's reputation for motorbike parts and motorcycle spares grew. Coupled with their exceptional quality of workmanship and wide range of skills and knowledge, they soon found they had become the leading UK specialists for both road and track. Because of the demands for their work and because they were doing so much suspension preparation, it was decided to take the difficult task and phase out all the other repairs they were asked to do and just concentrate on being the UK's top suspension shop.

Here are a few MH tips to make sure your bike is fit to race:

1. Check your sag - make sure to measure with your full kit on!
2. Make sure your damping controls are tuned
3. Pick up on common handling issues and perform quick fixes

As temperatures drop, autumn weather gets unpredictable fast🍂

Slippery wet leaves, morning frost, and cold tarmac mean tyre traction becomes your top priority. Your motorcycle suspension is the single most important component keeping your rubber pressed against the road, but cold weather and road grime put serious strain on internal fluid and rubber seals.

Before you head out to enjoy the foliage, take ten minutes to check over your bike to make sure everything is as it should be.

Don't let tired fluid or failing seals spoil your autumn rides! Message the team today to book your motorcycle suspension service or setup consultation🛠️

Whether you’re carving country roads, hitting track days, or tearing up local motocross trails, standard out-of-the-box suspension is rarely set up for your exact weight or riding style.

Over time, worn oil and tired seals degrade your handling, compromising both your confidence and safety. We offer the following services:

🏍️ Fork Revalve Service

You can twist clickers all day, but if your suspension fluid is tired, degraded, or burnt, your setup will fade after just three laps⌛

Welcome to Part 3 of our 3-Part Track Day Suspension Series!

Over the last few weeks we’ve covered sag and damping. But basic clicker adjustments rely on one major factor: healthy internal suspension components. As heat builds up over a 20-minute track session, old suspension fluid loses viscosity. The result? A bike that feels spot-on in lap 2, but loose, harsh, and unpredictable by lap 8.

Furthermore, if your factory spring rates aren't matched to your body weight, adjusting preload is simply a plaster over an underlying issue.

Why a professional workshop service transforms your ride:

🛠️ Fresh Fluid: High-grade suspension oil prevents thermal degradation and handling fade mid-session.

🛠️ Correct Spring Rates: Ensures your chassis works naturally in its optimal stroke window.

🛠️ Custom Re-valving: Delivers unmatched feedback, safety, and lap-time consistency.

How often should you really service your motorcycle suspension?

Waiting until your bike starts wallowing in corners or leaking oil onto your brake calipers is a recipe for disaster. Regular maintenance restores control, protects internal parts, and gives you complete confidence on the road, track, or trail.

Here are the baseline intervals every rider should keep in mind:

Road Riding: 12,000–20,000 miles (or 12–18 months)

Off-Road / MX: 20–40 hours (frequently in wet mud!)

Track / Race: 10–20 hours Touring / ADV: 10,000–15,000 miles

Is your front end diving violently under braking, or is your bike running wide on corner exit? Let’s diagnose what your chassis is telling you! 🏍️

Welcome back to Part 2 of our 3-Part Track Day Suspension Series! Once your sag and preload are dialled in, fine-tuning your compression and rebound damping is where you unlock true cornering control and rider confidence.

Here is a quick trackside cheat sheet to diagnose what's happening beneath you in key zones:

🔴 Issue: Bike runs wide on corner exit.
👉 Likely Cause: Rear squatting too much or front riding high.
🔧 Quick Fix: Add rear preload or increase rear compression damping.

🔴 Issue: Front end dives aggressively under heavy braking.
👉 Likely Cause: Front forks are too soft or lack compression.
🔧 Quick Fix: Increase front preload or add front compression.

Heading out to Silverstone or Donington Park soon?🏁

Track riding places far greater demands on your machine than any road commute, making pre-session mechanical checks vital.

Checking your pad thickness, setting carcass-expanding tyre pressures, and ensuring fluid seals are leak-free keeps you safe while pushing hard.

On circuit, your bike needs to support heavy braking loads without wallowing in high-speed sweepers so a professional tune is recommended.

Pulling into the paddock ahead of a track day is brilliant, right up until your bike starts fighting you at every apex🏁

Welcome to Part 1 of our 3-Part Track Day Suspension Series, where we break down how to get your machine dialled in without needing a lorry full of telemetry engineers.

Before you touch a single damping clicker, you’ve got to start with your foundation: Sag.

Correct sag keeps your geometry balanced, ensuring your tyres maintain a proper contact patch whether you're hard on the anchors or opening the throttle.

For track riding, aim for total rider sag around 25% to 30% of total suspension travel at both the front and rear.

Want to dive deeper? We’ve put together a full guide on the blog covering everything from baseline setup to damping fixes.

Local motocross and enduro tracks are now hard, deeply rutted, and absolutely caked in fine dust. For your suspension, this is the toughest time of the year🏜️

Fine dust and dried, baked mud act like sandpaper on your fork legs. If it gets past your dust wipers, it cuts directly into your oil seals, leading to fluid leaks and internal contamination.

Whether you're running WP, KYB, Showa, or Ohlins on your dirt bike, regular preventative maintenance is what keeps you tracking straight over the stutters, absorbing heavy flat landings, and avoiding costly internal damage.

Give your off-road rig the treatment it deserves. Get race ready with MH Suspension!
