Hi all, I have just set up a motorcycle tuning business based in Aberdeen.

see web page http://www.speedmachine.co.uk

I offer fork revalve/re-sprung, race shocks, rearsets, exhausts, brake conversions....
ISR brake range (calipers, discs, master cyliners..)
Brembo brake range

I will match the cheapest internet price for all parts.

Cheap rates. Pick up drop off from Aberdeen, free for large jobs, £30 return for smaller jobs.

Currently I dont have a business shop, I'm working from my fully kitted double garage, I shall get a shop in the future if the business takes off.

contact me on sales@speedmachine.co.uk or 07737411587 (after 5pm)

Where about in aberdeen are you based at ???

Hi I'm based on Hilton Street, between the 5 ways roundabout and Clifton Rd.

Currently I'm working out of my kitted out double garage. If the business takes off then I'll jack in my day job and run the business full time.

Here's hoping the business works out for you, it's about time someone up here offered such a service

What types of tunning can you carry out ?

Supply and fit:

brembo brake conversions,
ISR calipers, discs, mastercylinders...
rearsets (pp tuning/harris)
Harris parts
rear shocks (ohlins/WP)
Fork revalves/cartidge kits....currently I will be using K-tech or maxton for fork work, however early 2008 I shall do all revalve/cartidge kit fitting myself.
Slippers clutches, engine casings, exhausts, power commander (only base maps, as I do not have a rolling road)
Preparing/building track bikes, including race farings (supply and painting)

The best of luck with yer new venture, just down the road from me so you might get a visit when I eventualy get onto two wheels.... you may have spotted my thread on bikes suitable for fat bloke... a shock and spring upgrade might be on the cards...

I'll be giving you a call as I'd like the suspension on the ZZR checked out and probably tweaked a bit. Me and the missus will be spending a lot of next summer on the bike with full luggage so I'd like to get it all set up nice beforehand and not just cranking up the preload!!

Call me on 07737411587, after 4pm would be good, and we can discuss the best options for you.

I'll contect my suppliers (K teck/maxton) and find out your options given that you use for bike for touring two up.

Hi there Bashir .

Good to hear that you have taken the plunge with the business idea.

Dave

how are you at suspension set ups on 07 model r6rs?? i am looking to have someone set up my bike to improve road use via rider feedback.
what like are you at this kind of thing? also how much would it cost if you are skilled in this field?? many thANKS

Hello,

your YZFR6 is blessed with a decent quality rear shock, where as many new sports bikes are not so luck.

Your forks would need a little bit of fetling as I believe that the YZFR6 requires more dampning, its forks are a bit pogo stickish.

How much do you weigh with your kit on?

Currently I have some experience in setting up suspension.

Given your weight, I would set up your front and rear sag, and your compression so that your forks dont bottom out, however this is difficult considering the weather. I would test drive the bike on a rough and smooth road and adjust your dampning to suit.

This January I am planning to be trained up by K-tech on fitting their cartidge kits, re-valving and servicing as well as advanced set up.

You can only achieve so much with suspension set up. To really notice a difference I would advice tailoring your front/rear suspension to you by adjusting spring rates and oil to suit.

Contact me via sales@speedmachine.co.uk or call 07737411587 if you are interested and I'll work out a fully inclusive price based on your requirements.

regards
Bashir

Only just noticed this post... good luck with your new business Bash!

I want my MT01 suspension set up (when it eventually arrives )
It's got this years R1 front end (08) have no idea what the back shock is, but it's the back shock on the last one that caused me problems, was _Waaaaay_ too stiff on compression damping until it had done 6k miles.

what's it likely to cost to 'fix' the rear shock?

I've just bought an 06 Tuono that has an even snatchier throttle at low revs than my SP1 used to have.
The previous owner fitted twin spout bluefalme cans but I dont think he bothered with
getting the fueling sorted. Might give you a bell about getting a pissy fitted.
Good luck with the venture

Good luck with the new business - I reckon you're onto a good thing.
Will be seeing you soon for a setup before a tour

How much to supply and fit a pissy to an 06 Tuono?

Think a laptop wud take up less space

Oh dear

you cant just fit pissy you need to put it on the dyno to set it up or there i just no point

you do surprise me!!!!
i was thinking of getting it fitted,downloading a map and if not happy with that, getting
a custom one done.
