Nitron race shock SOLD

[gazza]

My SV is nearly 2 years old and its time to replace it so i am starting to take off the parts I have fitted. I am selling a NITRON shock the part number is NTBKS26-T. I am going to put it on EBAY on Friday if nobody on the Org wants it. Have a look at the NITRON website to see how much this quality shock costs (£445 + 15% vat). I will be listing more parts over the next few weeks as I get round to removing them from my bike. Make me an offer via PM if you want a bargain. The shock has only done 2500 miles. The shock fits all pointy's. I am looking for £275 ono.

what kind of rough figure do you have in mind?

[Luckypants]

What weight are you and was the shock specifically sprung for your weight on an SV? Do you have the user manual for the shock?

I am 12.5 stone(naked). and the shock was sprung for my weight. I do not have a manual.

Just to jump on this, New springs from Nitron are £30, piece of pee to fit (they will calculate the right rate for you.)

AND I have a spare 575KG/mm if you are of the larger persuasion. (read 20st+ pillion)

I apologise for this not being particularly connected to the sale.

But you really need to change the valving of a shock to suit the spring.

I apologise too, but I can't see why it would :scratch:. The linkage remains the same - all the spring does is regulate the stroke and ensure that it is in the correct range for a given weight (preload + lard)

Negative dear fellow,

I had the same concerns, so phoned them up had a little chat.
Nitron claim the damping is the same regardless, (it is 30 click adjustable comp & rebound).

to quote Nitron "normal setup is 10clicks out from full hard, but adjust to taste"

I'd hope they know thier onions.

OK I was going on the idea that a harder spring will rebound harder thus needing more damping to keep it under control when you get a rapid extension. But if that's what they reckon then fair do's.

Thats exactly what you are doing when you turn the damping up, harder spring = turn damping up to suit.

[yorkie_chris]

This I know. But adjusters only affect the low speed bleed, high speed is affected by loads of stuff, preload of shim stack, shim stiffness, oil weight, nitrogen pressure, shape of piston.

[svdemon]

I'm pretty sure they're adjustable for high and low speed compression and rebound/

i would agree with you on that one yorkie_chris, you do not only change springs to suit different weights.
