Suspension
 

I've got a SK6 now and used to, well still do have a SK1.

On my old bike I replaced the springs and oil which made it handle allot better.

I weigh about 14.5st.

I was wondering what others have done regarding suspension set up?

Re: Suspension
 

repeat process easy.

Re: Suspension
 

Where would you recomend to get the springs from? And what make?

Re: Suspension
 

what did you get last time.

Re: Suspension
 

Stick some hagon progressives or maxton/ohlins linear ones in

Re: Suspension
 

Matris fork internals and a Nitron rear shock here. Fitted it myself, cost about £600 all in. Declared to insurance and doesn't add anything to my premium. Worth every penny IMO.

Re: Suspension
 

Yup excellent way to do it. OP doesn't say how much he wishes to spend....

Re: Suspension
 

How much were the Matris internals? Racetech springs and Gold valve emulators came out at about £200+P&P for me.

and you were sucking your teeth about me spending that sort of brass on maxton kit? :D (OK ABS gubbins means I need a remote pre-load adjustor which adds £120)

As for OP - I think one option not covered would be a GSX-R front end to give better suspension. I think you need to give the guru's on here a guide to how much you want to spend and how handy you are with spanners to get more help.

Yeah it's still going to sting a bit isn't it though!

I never said it was a bad idea... still sodding expensive.

£277 including P&P. Worth it in itself, but if £600 is too much, you're over 2/3rds of the way towards a Nitron rear shock at that sort of money and the shock makes a bigger difference in my experience. If I had a budget of around £450, I'd go for a Nitron rear shock and new fork springs/oil, rather than new fork internals and a ZX-6R shock/similar.
