Re: ZX636 Shock swap on a Curvy (k1)
 

Have you also bought the bolt from Kawasaki for the bottom bit??

I got a mate who's a mechanic to thread the arm of the shock for me and just used the orginal SV bolt.

The shock came complete also has some extra brackets so will try with the kwak bolt

I reserve the right to waiver......Blah blah blah :D:D:D responsibility blah blah.

Hope it helps, it is a fairly easy job & makes one heck of a difference to the bikes handling :)

Glad to be of service :smt040:thumright:

Just to update;

Shock was a complete bitch to get off, bolts felt like they had been welded in, but after a lot of sweat and tears (mainly thru hitting myself with a sledge hammer) we managed to do the swap and for those of you still riding with stock sv suspension ohh my god what a difference. For £115 i now have a completely new bike it is amazing!

Big kudos to all who have helped and offered advice.

I did my fork oil and seals last night, oh how lovely the bike is now, with its lovely shock.
