Send Your Suspension To Us
HOW IT ALL WORKS
Take your forks and shock off the bike, send them to our Rockingham workshop, and we service them and send them back. You don't need to bring the whole bike in.
- Book and pay online. Choose your service (forks, shock, or both) at mx101.com.au and pay at checkout. You'll get a booking number by email.
- Remove and pack your suspension. Pressure wash the bike so the forks and shock are clean, then take them off. Dirty suspension incurs a $50 cleaning fee. Pack them securely in a sturdy box with plenty of padding. Write your booking number on the box and include a note with your name, mobile, bike make, model and year, rider weight and riding level.
- Send or drop off. Post with tracking to MX101, 25/8 Pickard Ave, Rockingham WA 6168, or drop it in during workshop hours (Mon–Fri, 8:00am–5:30pm).
- We inspect and service. We text you when your suspension arrives. If we find worn or damaged parts beyond the standard service, we'll call you with a price before doing any extra work.
- We send it back. Once the service is done and any extras are paid, we post it back with tracking, or you can collect it from the workshop.
Pro Tip: Not sure how to remove your suspension? Book the whole bike into the workshop instead and we'll do it all.
Pricing, payments and bookings: The service price is paid in full when you book. Any extra parts or work are quoted and approved by you before we start.

FAQ's
Why send just the suspension instead of the whole bike? It's easier and cheaper to post. You keep the bike at home, and you don't have to drive to Rockingham.
How often should I service my suspension? We recommend servicing forks and shock every 30 riding hours, or sooner if you notice leaking seals, harsh or inconsistent feel, or loss of damping.
What does a service include? We strip, clean and inspect everything, replace seals and oil, recharge the shock with nitrogen, and reassemble to spec. See the pricing table for the full list.
What's the difference between a service and a revalve? A service restores your suspension to how it should work. A revalve changes how it works, setting it up for your weight, riding level and the tracks you ride.
Which fork service do I need? The outer-only service replaces the seals and outer oil, which fixes leaks and freshens the feel. The full inner and outer service also strips and services the cartridge, which is where the damping happens. For the best performance, we recommend the full service.
What's in The Works package? Everything: a full front and rear service, springs changed to suit your weight, and a revalve front and rear. It's the complete setup for your riding, from $1,599.
What info do I need to include? Your booking number, name, mobile, bike make, model and year, rider weight and riding level. For a revalve, also include the tracks you mostly ride and anything you want changed.
Does it need to be clean? Yes. Pressure wash the forks and shock before you send them. Dirty suspension incurs a $50 cleaning fee, and dirt near the seals can contaminate the new oil.
How do I pack it? Use a sturdy box with plenty of padding so the parts can't move. Cover the fork tube ends, and wrap the shock so the shaft and reservoir are protected. Don't send wheels, axles or bars.
Do you do all brands? WP, Showa, KYB & Öhlins. If you're unsure, email service@mx101.com.au before booking.
How long will it take? 48 hours from arriving at the workshop for a standard service, or 48–72 hours with a revalve, plus postage each way. Resprings and The Works need booking at least 1 week ahead so we can order the right springs.
Can I get it done faster? Yes. Add the $100 priority rush fee at booking and your job goes to the front of the queue as soon as it arrives.
What if you find something wrong? We'll call or text you with a price before doing any extra work. Nothing extra is done without your approval. If you decline parts that affect durability, the suspension is returned and the guarantee won't apply. If we can't reach you within 2–3 business days, work is paused.
Can I drop it off instead of posting? Yes. Drop it in at 25/8 Pickard Ave, Rockingham during workshop hours (Mon–Fri, 8:00am–5:30pm). Book online first.
Can I supply my own parts? No. We only fit parts supplied by MX101, so we can stand behind the work.
Who pays for postage? You pay postage to us. Return postage depends on your location (approximately $80 for regional areas) and is added to your order before we send it back.
What if it's damaged in the post? Your suspension is your responsibility until it reaches us, so use tracked and insured postage. Once we hand it to the courier for the return trip, it's covered by their insurance.
Is the work guaranteed? Yes. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 30 days or 10 riding hours, whichever comes first. Your bike needs an hour meter fitted so the riding hours can be checked. If a problem caused by our work shows up in that time, send it back and we'll fix it at no labour cost.
Can I get my old parts back? Yes, just ask when you book.
Who do I contact with questions? Email service@mx101.com.au or call the workshop on 0403 610 012 (Mon–Fri, 8:00am–5:30pm).

What makes MX101 different?
Straight-talking, honest advice and quality workmanship, with quicker turnarounds. We work to get every bike back to you as fast as possible, and many jobs are finished the same day.
Do you offer a workmanship guarantee?
We stand behind our team's work. If an issue comes back within 30 days that's related to the work we did, we'll make it right.Off-road bikes live a hard life, so problems caused by maintenance, crashes, wear and tear, or unrelated faults aren't covered. If something comes back, we'll diagnose it first to work out whether it's connected to our work. Either way, talk to us and we'll always do the right thing.We can't guarantee a bike won't break. Off-road bikes don't come with that promise even brand new, and fixing one part doesn't stop another from failing on the next ride. What we do guarantee is honesty: when your bike leaves the workshop, we'll tell you its condition and anything that's worn or likely to need attention soon.This promise is in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
What are your turnaround times?
General servicing and minor jobs: Usually same day, up to 2 days
Diagnostics: About 48 hours
Suspension servicing: About 48 hours
Revalving and spring changes: About 1 week
Full engine rebuilds: 1–2 weeks (a four-stroke rebuild alone is around 16 hours of labour)
PLEASE NOTE: All times depend on parts availability (some parts come from eastern states suppliers), deposits being paid, and how quickly we can reach you for approvals. The faster we hear back, the faster your bike is bac
Are there bikes or jobs you don't work on?
- We only work on bikes we can reliably get parts for. That means the major manufacturers, not Chinese or non-mainstream brands.
- No Thumpstar pit bikes.
- We avoid quads where possible.
- Road bikes: servicing and tyres only, no repairs.
