Re: rear shock change
^ no it cant but its no where near hard enough its only 0.05kg/mm harder than stock (9.7kg/mm vs 9.2kg/mm you need a 12.kg/mm ideally
i would go with at least a 10kg/mm spring i think a gsxr 1300 might be ok but i have no idea how long they are PS whats wrong with wheeling over crests i do it all the time Last edited by barwel1992; 25-07-10 at 10:58 PM. |

Re: rear shock change
It can fit, but it is too soft.
Nothing wrong with wheelying off crests but you want to keep it down as much as possible as you can't accelerate with front in air.

Re: rear shock change
definitely nothing wrong with crest wheelies, hump back bridge jumps etc...
just really thinking out loud on it. Barwel at 12kg/mm i'd be looking at doing a special of a Aprillia RSV or something similar
