Just wanted to do a quick review on the shock service and revalve that I just had done by Ian at Monster Performance. Little back story, I’ve had these shocks installed on my machine since new, at the time I sent them in for service they had exactly 4050km’s on them, these were all aggressive miles and I was always happy with how well they worked and how they came set up from factory, I will make it clear I had no huge complaints with how they worked other than my front shocks were starting to get a little soft, and were always a touch softer than the rear seemed. They were showing signs of fatigue and both my front shock seals were starting to seep, they were long over due for service so I started looking at what my options were. Through my research Monster Performance came up with good reviews, he also ships a ton of shocks to Canada and offers a very fast turn around time, all things I was looking for, so I shot Ian an email with a couple of questions and ultimately decided to send my shocks to him, mainly because of his vast experience with Elka shocks and valving on ATV’s, a lot of companies can revalve Elkas but their experience is in the race world, and I didn’t want to chance getting my shocks back super stiff. I decided on getting my shocks revalved along with the service as I was interested in seeing if they could be made even better than they were originally, and off they went. I got them back in approx. 10 business days, Ian said he had completely changed the valving to meet my needs, and I had a chance to get out and ride and tune them today. He had left my rebound set where it was before and I set my compression clickers to the middle of the adjustment range and went at it, even within the first few miles I knew that my shocks had greatly improved. Spent about 5-6 hours riding and adjusting at the stops today and got them dialed in pretty close to perfect, its unbelievable how smooth they are now, even at low speeds, and the handling has also improved, very responsive and predictable in the turns. All in all I am very pleased with the outcome, and I will say I’m pretty hard to impress, I wont go as far as to say it was a night and day difference, but they have markedly improved. Ian has very fair rates and his service is top notch, I would highly recommend him to anybody out there with shocks in need of service, especially if your looking for a custom revavle.
