I have C1H 6R shock.
SRAD750 was better, taller which made my front spring rate make more sense, and sharpened the steering nicely. More ground clearance. (I am 12st), problem with it is, it is very soft compared to others. So with pillion it is not much cop at all.

Right... I'm just under 14stone.
My shock settings for a ZX636 B1H... Compression damping (screw at top) - 1.5 turns from fully in Rebound damping (screw at bottom) - 2 turns from fully in Preload - 9-10 exposed threads. Remember, damping/shock settings are a very personal thing, but the above is how I have mine set and I like the way it feels But if you have no idea what you are doing, the above prolly isn't a bad start point!! I got these setting off someone else then tweaked them a little... |

just to chuck a spanner in the works...
I put a 2nd hand oem shock on my SV that had done 3k, transformed the bike and I didnt have to mess about worrying about spring rates etc etc, cost me £25....

That is a good safe bet if you can still find a low mileage one.

Mine are way further out than that. I had them at similar settings and found my rear wheel was leaving the ground!!! It was set so hard.

Hmmm I'd been looking into a 636 or SRAD shock...
SRAD one sounds good - the soft spring might make it more suitable for me cos I'm only 11st5 with all my riding kit on and I never have a pillion on the back... On the other hand the SRAD is quite a lot softer than even the stock SV one - the curvy shocks have a #510 spring rate and the SRADs are #370ish if I remember right...might still be too soft... ![]() |
