Matt Miller Suspension NZ

Matt Miller Suspension NZ Motorcycle Suspension Setups based in Tauranga NZ So taking that on board I invested interest into learning about suspension and riding better.

My dads passion for motorbikes extended to me when he taught me to ride in the late 70s, at around 8years old, I ended up loving the Sunday rides at Rosebank Rd Speedway in Auckland and ended up playing with bikes and cars since then, dabbled in Trail riding and a bit of MotoX with bikes like the PE185/250, CR250/500, IT490, KX250 KXF250, and have also completed a few "Track Days" at various racin

g tracks in NZ, Pukekohe, Taupo and Manfeild. Helped with the Auckland Motorcycle Clubs Advanced Rider instructional courses at Pukekohe and tested Motorcycle Licence applicants on written and practical skills for the MOT before sending them off to the MOT (NZ Police) for their oral questions and ultimately getting their motorcycle licence. Crashing my bike at Manfeild Raceway gave me an insight as to "what I could have done better" and now knowing what I know now about suspension and setup I should have never taken that bike on the track in the condition it was in. I have done several of Dave Moss's suspension courses, and with a mechanical background (Qualified "A" Grade Mechanic) I picked up on what he was saying and started applying it to my own bikes and noticing the difference. Then I started doing friends bikes and getting good feedback so one after another the result was the same, better handling and better tyre wear instilling more confidence in the rider and ultimately a safer bike and rider combo. I don't consider myself an "expert" on suspension, but after setting up my own bikes and hundreds of others and the feedback I get, one would say I have a fair idea of what I do, lets just go with that. This bike suspension setup page started off as something to help out friends in riding groups with bikes they weren't happy with and I have realised that there are so many bikes out there wrongly setup that I thought I would create a service as such to help everyone out.... and here it is.

Sorry folks it's been a busy half year and we're almost at June!
My last post was in March about a track day, I think I've done six more since then with a couple more coming up.
The bike is going extremely well too and I've spent some money on it.
Lightweight wheels, slicks, race brakes and air vents, fully adjustable rear sets, rebuilt the rear shock, changed the coolant, plugs, air filter, oil and filter and recently the chain and sprockets.
I will post up a couple of pictures from a few track days but below are the bikes I've done since March.
Thank you to all those that have come and seen me.

The other reason for this post is that I have a road trip down to Wellington, driving down tomorrow afternoon from Tauranga I will be available all day Friday and Saturday morning only for suspension setups based out by the police college in Papakowhai.
If you are reading this and know anyone that has a bike that could do with their suspension being set up then make contact with me on messenger through THIS page not my private Facebook account.
Set ups take approximately 40 minutes, I go right through the bike and show you how everything works, ill show you what happens when it doesn't work too, l set the spring tension for your weight and adjust the rebound and compression damping then we talk about tyres and pressures. Cost $80
Message me if you're keen.
Hope May was good to you and June is better.
Cheers Matt

Finally got to the track with my Aprilia, one day at Manfield and two days at Hampton.
I ran slicks and race brakes on the last Hampton day, what a blast that was and so much confidence.

My bike is a 2019 Aprilia Tuono V4 1100RR with a race map on the engine computer, Austin racing exhaust, suspension mods consist of oem Sachs forks with K-tech 25ids cartridges, the oem Sachs rear shock was replaced with a K-tech DDS lite unit, ram air cooling ducts for front dics, EBC race pads, Spectro synthetic glycol-ether brake fluid, Racetorx gearshift shaft supporter, up and down quickshifter and Pirelli Diablo superbike slicks.
Next mods will be fully adjustable rearsets with race shift rather than conventional.
Im having fun doing this and learning as I go. Looking forward to a Taupo track day next.

Is yours or your friends motorcycle suspension set up properly for their weight? Are all those twisty k***s and screws set in the right place so that the suspension actually works and makes the bike handle??? If you haven't had your suspension set up properly or you know someone that rides that may benefit from this please share this post. I run a small business from home setting up motorcycle suspension to make your bike handle better, smoother, increased mileage on your tires and making you feel more comfortable on your motorcycle ultimately making the ride safer and more enjoyable. Check out the posts on my page and the reviews and comments. It takes about 40 minutes I go right through the whole bike with you explaining how it all works and we talk about ergonomics and tires.
I also do general light servicing work and repairs too just ask.
Pictures below from the last couple of months work in the shop, some very happy clients. Summer's coming... dust off those cobwebs, get your bike sorted and enjoy the ride! 👊🏍️🏍️🏍️
Also remember to oil your chain and get it replaced once it's worn out!
