YVC recommend Tekin very highly. It depends on what you want to get from your suspension, but you would notice a difference if you ask for it. Ken will work closely with you to get the best setup for you.

Give him a go, its worth it.

I wouldn't rate anyone else over Ken for rebuilding/tweaking shock/fork in Australia also he is a really nice guy and easy to deal with.. Go for it!

One of very few I would let touch my suspension, super knowledgable guy when it comes to Fox suspension, maybe the best in Aus. You will not be disappointed with whatever level of performace your after. Best bet is to give him a buzz and talk over what you want.

yeah thats what I heard .... any feedback on the actually shock .. do you notice a differance ??
Ken rebuilt + tuned my RC4 after I damaged it last year, gave me exactly what I asked for. I didn't want a massive change out of the shock as it was fairly good from stock, just some subtle differences, but I got what I asked for. Having seen him work, he's extremely thorough, and having spent a fair while discussing various facets of suspension nerdery with him it's fair to say he has a good idea what he's on about :)

I had ken tune my shock last year and the way the rear wheel kept contact with ground was noticeably better. The best value for money you will get. Intense

I sent my 08 RP2 to him for service in feb. Once Ken had the shock he recommended upgrading the damper piston to the 09 version to get better performance out of it, I went with that and now I've gone from having the propedal permanently on to only using it on the road.
I did have an issue with it a couple of weeks back but I still am very happy with the service and the way Ken dealt with it in a quick and efficient manner. For the record it wasn't anything he had done.

The shock also returned as a RP23 for the hassle of having to send it back, now that is customer service.

I have been dealing with Ken for the last 2 years in that time he has tuned and helped me with many sets of forks and rear shocks. Every time getting them tuned perfectly to the rider's weight, feel and riding style. I can't thank Ken enough ! I would highly recommend him.

I bought a second hand dhx 5 of ken for my v10 and he custom tuned it for me and i have barely had to touch it since.Besides having to change rebound maybe one or two clicks either way,to suit conditions,it has been perfect since the day i got it.I'm also looking at getting some fox 40's just so ken can service them also(bloody bombers,damn you).
All you need to do is let fill out questionaire on his website(about your size and riding style etc.) and maybe have a chat to him if you have any special requirements/needs that you want from your shock and he will deliver the best shock you have ever owned.His work and knowledge is second to none.
You will have no regrets as he is a super nice guy to deal with also.
