Any ideas when you're going to try to fit it?
Where did you get the data for the 09' from?
The table only goes up to 08'!

Cheers, Sally.
The model number of the bike that the shock comes from is the same model as was being produced in 08. Whether that's because the model didn't change in 09, or because the owner bought an 08 model out of 1 yr old dealer stock, I don't know. It could have been an 08 model bike that wasn't registered until 09.

The difference between the 08' and 09' could have been minimal?
If so, the shock would have been similiar?

When you thinking of fitting it?
Just to see how you get on!?

How do you find the springs with 15W oil?
I have the same springs, but used 20W oil!

What year shocks you have/use?
Just giving my experience with both, and I don't find the suspenion on the zx that bad at least you can feel the road unlike the curveys spongy suspenion.

Don't know to any of that yet mate, the bike is still in pieces. I'll let you know how I get on though.
