INNTECK suspension shims 6 x 17 mm - pack of 10

INNTECK offers these suspension shims. In a fork or shock, the oil passes through a drilled piston every time the wheel moves. Thin steel washers, the shims, are stacked on this piston: they flex under the oil pressure and let it through more or less easily.

Why shims by size?

The benefits:

• Replace a damaged shim with an identical one, without replacing the whole valving.
• Build or modify a stack to suit the rider’s weight, level and the terrain.
• Washers of calibrated thickness: the same stack gives the same result from one build to the next.

Why choose INNTECK?

Innteck, the Italian motorcycle-parts distributor founded in 2004 in Piedmont and part of the Athena group since 2023, supplies its steel suspension shims in packs of 10, in a wide choice of diameters and thicknesses for custom revalving.

When should you replace this part?

A bent, marked or broken shim, or damping that has changed for no reason: replace the shim with a new one of identical size.
