technical help needed, beer vouchers offered in return
 

I have got a gixxer 1000 shock and new fork springs on their way to me. I possess neither the technical know how nor the tools/paddock stands etc to do the job myself.

I am keen to learn and assist someone competent in the spannering department who can swap the original shock, fork springs and oil.

Would be happy to make a contribution to your drinking fund in return. :D

any suggestions welcome, either reply here or by PM.

thanks.

Will

would love to help but dont know how either sorry

but if u still wanna contribute to my drinking fund then i wont stop you :wink: :lol:

Flaming Squrel is good at doing this, he has done a few.

:shock:

Anyway, springs not a problem, rear shock not a problem, tools, paddock stands etc, not a problem, time, though is. A couple of weeks time, maybe, but pretty busy as of late. Sorry

I expect I can help you out here 8)

Will... Likewise to the rodent... can lend a hand as have done both of these now! :thumbsup:

For the Gixxer shock, get yourself to a Suzuki dealer and order the following nut and bolt:

1 x 09103-10143 BOLT
1 x 08319-31107 NUT

You will need them to secure the lower end of the shock to the suspension linkage.

Maybe a shock swap day is in order? :idea:

cheers billy - which gixxer 1000 shock will those items fit? mine is a K1/K2.

also, what weight fork oil - i am 14stone (ish) :wink: 15wt or 20wt
