Why DFC
Built around the rider—not a generic setting.
DFC Suspension was founded in 2021 by Rob Simmons, but the foundation started long before the business name existed. A lifelong focus on motorcycles, fabrication, hydraulics, engines, and suspension development shaped the shop into what it is today.
Every build combines rider feedback, mechanical inspection, tuning experience, and dyno-verified data where applicable. Individual rider files and build records keep the work connected to the rider, the motorcycle, and how it is actually used.

Service process
A Rider-Focused Motorcycle Suspension Service Process
The recommendation begins with the rider and the job—not a generic setting copied from another motorcycle.
01
Define the job
We document the rider, motorcycle, discipline, terrain, pace, current feedback, and setup goals.
02
Inspect & document
Forks, shocks, chassis condition, measurements, current settings, and required service scope are inspected and documented.
03
Build & verify
Components are serviced, tuned, assembled, and dyno verified where applicable.
04
Return with a baseline
The motorcycle returns with documented settings, build records, and a clear baseline for rider feedback.
Suspension Maintenance
Motorcycle Fork & Shock Service Intervals
Recommended intervals apply to both fork and shock assemblies unless a shorter model-specific interval applies.
| Motorcycle Use | Complete Oil Service | Seal Service / Rebuild Cycle |
|---|---|---|
| Moto and off-road | 15 operating hours | 30 operating hours |
| Moto and off-road racers | 10 operating hours | 20 operating hours |
| BDR / adventure off-road | 15 operating hours | 30 operating hours |
| Track-only – sportbike and supermoto | 15 operating hours | 30 operating hours |
| Adventure – predominantly pavement | 10,000 miles | 20,000 miles |
| Street | 15,000 miles | 30,000 miles |
Service Cycle: Seal service / rebuild occurs every second complete oil service.
Complete Oil Service
Fork service includes all applicable oil chambers and cartridges. Shock service includes disassembly, cleaning, bleeding, and nitrogen recharge.
Seal Service / Rebuild
Includes complete oil service, full disassembly, cleaning, seal replacement, inspection, and applicable wear components.
Classification
Adventure motorcycles used primarily on pavement follow mileage. BDR-style adventure off-road use follows operating hours.
Override
Shorter model-specific manufacturer intervals and condition-based requirements take precedence. Leakage, contamination, crash damage, fade, or abnormal operation require immediate inspection.
