Motorcycle Suspension Seminars 2026

2026 August Suspension School dates......

Our upcoming Suspension Schools will be held at Shock Treatment Headquarters in Wallacia NSW as well as in Witta QLD.
The schools involve a classroom (our workshop) explanation of suspension function as well as intended and desired outcomes. All questions will be answered.
The class will be followed by a practical session of tuning and development for suspension performance. Test rides.
Participants will be divided up into groups of 4 and set sags on their bikes as well as tune their damping for maximum performance. Fork heights will be adjusted to provide best steering / braking performance. All adjustments will be supervised and we will be there to provide tuning advice as well as answer questions.
This will be followed by an afternoon ride with myself with a break along the way to discuss and make further adjustments if required.
NSW....we will leave our premises for the Burragorang lookout at Nattai for a pause and adjust. Then on to the George Hotel in Picton for a quiet refreshment. We will disperse from there.

Dirt bikes will be adjusted on our tracks in the afternoon. NSW only
