2011/12 ZX10 Shock - SV650.org

20-10-12, 07:46 AM

Anybody fitted one? I've been offered a cheap low mileage one but I cant find any specs for it anywhere. Can someone please point me in the right direction for them or give me their opinions on them if they have fitted one.

Cheers

I have a 2010 ZX6R shock in a curvy.
Specs here for the 2008 model, I don't think there's any difference other than high & low speed compression damping (I have compared it to a 2005 shock and dimensionally it seems to be the same).

For me, it does feel sprung like a standard curvy shock, which it turns out is too stiff for me. Required a fair amount of battery box butchery, a Kawasaki lower shock bolt & nut, and a bit of tweaking of the left hand tab for the rider's seat mount which fouled the piggy back at full compression. For the pointy I'm simply not sure, but I suspect it'll be over-sprung unless you weigh a fair bit.

Cheers for the info. Im looking at a ZX10 shock though, not a ZX6. It will be going in a pointy K3 too.

Does anyone know the length of the 2011/12 ZX6R rear shock? Think it should be the approx same to the 2006/7 I put on the SV last year.
