rear shock change - Page 38 - SV650.org

yorkie_chris · 20-07-10, 04:19 PM

Yes.

My guess for right rate would be 675lb/in which is just over 12kg/mm

20-07-10, 04:22 PM

so the best from that list would be 04/05 zx10r with a 10kg/mm spring 338mm long

yorkie_chris · 20-07-10, 04:30 PM

For 2gen or for 1gen? What I just said was for 1gen and 14 stone guy.
Where are we going with this lol

That ZX10R one will probably be good for you. Better length than GSXR ones.

20-07-10, 04:31 PM

ok this is from penske

for a curvy a 195lbs rider needs 675 lbs/inch - 12.08 kg/mm spring

and a pointy 230lbs rider needs a 550 lbs/inch - 9.85 kg/mm spring (my weight)

yup your right about the zx one although i was saying i would be the best shock on that chart for the curvy as its the hardest shock with nearly stock length but still its not hard enough

Glad penske agree with my guess, means I am not talking out of my ****.

That ZX10R one is 540# or something like that.
