Why Suspension Service Matters
Your suspension isn’t just about comfort — it’s critical to safety, handling, tyre life, braking, and rider confidence. Over time, fork oil degrades, seals wear, internal components fatigue, and your setup drifts from optimal. Regular servicing ensures your bike responds predictably, absorbs road imperfections, and puts power to the ground when you need it.
At Darkart Motosport, our Suspension Service offering is designed to restore performance, prolong component life, and tailor the feel to you — your weight, riding style, and terrain.

What Our Clients Say
Best suspension guy in the game. Leroy is the only man you should be getting advise from and getting your suspension serviced through. He really pulls out all the stops to ensure you get the best service and get the most out of your ride.
Luke Temple
Very good work. Have couple bikes that are completely different and different sized riders. Leroy helps you work through the problems by not changing to many things at once. Good steady progress leading to an excellent result. He even made Pukekohe smooth 🤣🤣
John Oliver
Leroy did a great job on the initial setup of my race bike, but the thing I really like about Leroy is how easy he is to talk to about the ongoing setup as I get faster .This has enabled me to get a better understanding of my suspension and I can now give him feedback on what my bike is doing.
Patrick Ansted
Top class guy, Leroy knows his stuff, very helpful with a professional background from BSB in UK. Don’t waste your time with dangerous so called Guru’s.
