Like a few here, I felt the suspension on my 06 S3 was harsh - capable but harsh.

So I got K-Tech of BSB and WSB fame to work them front and rear over. Ther re-sprung the front (0.85) and revalved front and rear. I've just done 60 miles and am happy with the result. Bumps that would have had me out of the seat or crossing my fingers if I hit them already out of shape now hold no fear. You know you've gone over it but it's never a problem and that's saying something on the roads round here.

For less than four hundred quid inc VAT, that's a cost effective upgrade in my book.

FWIW, when I enquired of K-Tech abput the S3 they said they hadn't done one since they did the 30 factory press bikes just before Triumph shipped them to Spain for the press launch, so they would do mine the same. Make of that what you will....
