Default Re: rear shock change

I have 05-06 ZX6R shock fitted. Bit short but it works OK.

Honestly, the cutting isn't that hard, but you'll do better with a Stanley knife.

Is that the C1H? Yours looked similar to what I had. Made the bike a wee bit lower.

C1H aye.

SRAD750 shock is way better length, but too soft.

I'm just about 11st, will C1H be a bit too stiff having a rate of 9.7kg/mm (542lb/in)?

SV's being 9.1kg/mm (510lb/in)will there be a big difference?

I think am happy with sv's spring rate, but want better damping/rebound.

It won't be too stiff you will be fine with it and the adjustable compression damping and rebound will make it work much better than the sv shock for you.

If I was 11st and never took a pillion, I would use SRAD750 one all day.

i may go for it, depending on if I find anything on those SRAD750
