Already a title sponsor of selected MotoGP events in 2022 and this year of the upcoming round at Jerez de la Frontera (and later Phillip Island), MotoGP Guru powered by Gryfyn will be alongside Gresini Racing MotoGP for the whole 2023 season, with an ambitious and important project.
 
With the creation of the first official MotoGP “prediction game”, Guru has entered the World Championship paddock from the main door and not only: its presence on the fairings of the Desmosedici machines #49 and #73 has been highlighted a couple of times at the parc fermé already this year, courtesy of Alex Marquez. 
 
For the #SpanishGP, MotoGP Guru powered by Gryfyn has unveiled the 2023 challenge, with a selection of journalists from the World Championship that will take on the official photographers. It will be a “Fantasy League” open to everybody, in which the prize for the winner will be a Gresini Racing-liveried Ducati machine. 

GRAEME WARRING – MOTOGP GURU powered by GRYFYN CEO
“We decided to augment our title sponsorships and circuit activation with a race team partnership. In 2022 at Phillip Island and Valencia we spoke to a few teams and Gresini Racing responded with a very focused plan to compliment what we were committed to doing with Dorna. It was clear that they really embraced the project, and we really embraced the team, especially the legacy of Fausto and the family atmosphere that feels warm and welcoming."
 
CARLO MERLINI – COMMERCIAL & MARKETING DIRECTOR GRESINI RACING
“Extremely delighted to announce MotoGP Guru powered by Gryfyn as new Gresini Racing MotoGP Team sponsor. Last year Gryfyn strongly bursted into MotoGP environment as title sponsor of a few races and I’m happy that for 2023 they chose Gresini Racing MotoGP as partner to develop and implement the activation program for Guru, the new (and exciting!) official result prediction game of the MotoGP World Championship. Besides the massive branding, GryFyn will benefit of a large range of services and experience to offer as prize to the lucky Guru winners. Welcome MotoGP Guru powered by GryFyn in the #gresinifamily”.

The competition is free to enter for vehicle exhibitors, and entry forms are available from the British Motor Museum website. Metro classes include Austin Metros, MG Metros and Rover Metros/100s. Mini classes include 59 & 79, 80 & 2000 (including 2000 Mini classics, not BMW Minis), 2000 Onwards (BMWs) and Custom Minis.

The EVO series from Touratech Suspension boasts a completely new shock absorber. The Yamaha Ténéré 700 now also benefits from the numerous technical innovations of these premium shock absorbers.

With its no-frills concept, powerful engine and long spring travel, the Ténéré 700 has been wowing the adventure community since its release in 2019. It goes without saying that Touratech has developed an extensive range of accessories around this powerful package. Right from the start, the developers paid special attention to the suspension system. Although well-equipped at the factory to meet a wide range of demands, the standard suspension elements of the T7 quickly reach their limits under tough conditions with higher payloads.

The suspension elements from Touratech Suspension have been an effective remedy for years. With a special setup for extreme loads, equipped with extensive adjustment options and yet fully serviceable, the proven suspension elements of the Touratech Suspension Travel range already raised the off-road and touring capabilities of the T7 to a new level.

EVO suspension elements with completely new damper technology

And now Touratech Suspension has topped it once again. Following the semi-active suspension system for the BMW R 1250 GS, a completely new, EVO generation damper technology is now to be used in the conventional suspension systems as well. The Yamaha Ténéré 700 is first in line.

The focus on top performance under extreme conditions has left its stamp on the technology of the EVO dampers. For example, the completely new design of the damper piston has resulted in optimised flow behaviour, preventing the formation oil foam even at the highest frequencies, such as when riding along trails at high speeds. This means that the damping behaviour remains completely consistent over a huge load spectrum. The new low-friction seal on the damper rod is also designed to withstand the highest stresses. In addition, its low coefficient of friction ensures an exceptionally low breakaway torque, contributing to its sensitive response behaviour. Annoying jerking, also known as slip-stick effect, is alien to EVO dampers.

Easy tuning of spring preload and damping

EVO suspension elements have a particularly robust spring preload adjuster for situational adjustment of the spring preload to the respective load condition. Rapid compression of the spring is achieved at comparatively low operating pressure already, which puts less strain on the seals. This is also a big plus in terms of durability. The high-quality spring itself is manufactured by Eibach, a leading global supplier of performance suspension systems.

For the new EVO line, pre-setting of the compression damping is simple and intuitive via a single rotary knob with an easy-to-read scale. This also enables less experienced users to reliably implement individual suspension system setups. Rebound damping is similarly easy to adjust over a wide range.

Suzuki GB PLC is very pleased to announce the recent launch of its Service Activated Warranty Scheme, Suzuki is unique in the industry in offering this to both its car and motorcycle owners as well as offering it totally free of charge.  

Available to customers since April 3rd, Service Activated Warranty is offered once the car or motorcycle reaches the end of its manufacturer warranty period and is booked in for its next scheduled service within the Suzuki Dealer network. This warranty stays in place until the next qualifying service and is then simply renewed again up to a maximum vehicle age of 7 years /  100,000 miles for cars or 70,000 miles for motorcycles - whichever comes first.

As an enhancement to Suzuki’s well renowned product reliability record, Service Activated Warranty offers ‘Peace of Mind as Standard’ as well as customer retention within its network of new car and motorcycle dealers and authorised repair centres.

Major components are covered, and should a customer decide to sell their car or motorcycle between services and within the seven-year qualifying period, the warranty can simply be transferred to the next owner – again free of charge.

Additionally, Service Activated Warranty can also be applied to a Suzuki that has been purchased privately or has a gap in its dealer service history providing it goes through a Suzuki Vehicle Health Check in the first instance.

Commenting on the launch, Denis Houston, Director Aftersales, Suzuki GB PLC, said: “At Suzuki, customer experience and retention are paramount, the launch of Service Activated Warranty will certainly enhance this for the future, ensuring our customers get the best levels of service, fitment of genuine parts and avail of the expertise within our dealer network rather than going to a non-franchised repairer once their manufacturer warranty expires. Offering Service Activated Warranty free of charge to both our car and motorcycle owners is unique and we are very proud to offer this as a strong message in support of our customers”.
