Frequently Asked Questions

---

 We specialise in high-performance, track, race, and motocross motorcycles, including sportbikes and supersports. We also service premium street bikes, but our core expertise is optimising performance, handling, and reliability for riders who demand the best. 

 Yes, we provide logbook services without compromising warranty. Our logbook work is precise and done with premium parts and lubricants, reflecting our high-performance standards. 

 No. All work at Riding Rubber is strictly by appointment. Bookings are essential to ensure we can dedicate the right time, equipment, and expertise to your bike. This includes logbook servicing, race prep, suspension work, and diagnostics. 

  Standard hours are 9 am–5 pm Mon–Fri, but we are often offsite at track events, coaching, and racing. Calling ahead or booking online is strongly recommended. 

 Some bikes and services take longer than others. We work to get it right, not get it fast. Precision, performance, and safety are our priorities - every job takes as long as it needs, whether that’s a standard logbook service or advanced race prep. 

 Yes - We specialise in performance tuning for track and race machines. Every tune is tailored to your bike, riding style, and intended use, ensuring maximum power, responsiveness, and safety. 

 Please note: We do not provide tuning for street motorcycles. 

 Absolutely. We provide full race prep, suspension setup, tyre selection, and performance optimisation. All prep is done to the highest standards - jobs take the time required to ensure your bike performs perfectly and safely on track. 

 Yes. We rebuild, re-spring, re-valve, and set up suspension to rider weight, riding style, and track requirements. Every setup is tested for precision handling and performance. 

 At Riding Rubber, we focus on precision, performance, and reliability. Labour is quoted separately so you know exactly what you’re paying for skilled workmanship. Parts are chosen based on your bike, riding style, and performance goals — whether that’s premium race-grade components, track-specific consumables, or manufacturer-standard replacements.

This approach ensures your bike gets the right parts for the right application, and you have full visibility and control over your service choices.

 At Riding Rubber, every job takes as long as it needs and costs as much as it costs to be done right — no corners cut, no shortcuts, no compromises 

 Yes, we perform advanced diagnostics -  chassis, engine, suspension, and electronics. Note: this is strictly a waitlist-based service and can have extended lead times unless dealing with urgent race-bike requirements. 

Yes, we can rebuild your engine, but it is specialist work and not a routine service. Every rebuild is done to precise, high-performance standards, so it takes as long as it takes and costs as much as it costs to do it right.

Because engine rebuilds are complex, we cannot provide a quote until the engine is disassembled and inspected. If you wish, we can disassemble your engine and provide a detailed quote; however, charges apply for this disassembly and assessment.

 Please note: The final cost may be higher than initially expected, depending on what repairs or parts are required. We do not cut corners - the focus is on reliability, performance, and safety. 

No, we do not have a customer waiting area. There are food and coffee options nearby; however, service timeframes are variable and cannot be accurately predicted. For this reason, we recommend dropping your bike off and returning later for collection once work on your motorcycle has been completed.

 No. Our workshop door remains closed at all times. This helps us maintain a clean, controlled, and climate-stable environment, which is essential for precision work and high-performance servicing. This also allows our technicians to focus fully on the job without interruption.
