Let's say you buy a used bike and the previous owner had the suspenion sent out for new springs and a revalve, but there's no tag/sticker on the fork or shock stating spring rate, oil height, oil weight, and rider weight/skill. Do suspension tuners keep records of exactly what they do to every customer's suspension? Could you call up, say, Race Tech and ask for the details on your suspension?

Most of the shops do. If you have the owners name that had the suspension done, model, and year they should be able to dig it up.

Race tech keeps a record, it must be entered by the tech

Graeme Brough had records from my 98 yz125 he did when he worked at Fmf. Found that out when I was having him revalve one of my sons bikes bikes in 2011ish. I was shocked when he opened up an old notebook and showed me.

They're going to tell you the stacks and oil height, etc?
Cuz, I'm going to start calling PC going "I bought so-and-so's old
practice bike. Can you tell me what the valving is before I tear into it?"LaughingLaughingLaughingLaughing
