Hello!
So currently I've got an Sv650s k4 with a GSXR 1000 front end and a ZX10 rear shock. I'm only 12-12,6 stone fully kitted so after having it on for a short while have realised that it is well oversprung for what I need it for. My question is would a ZX6 rear shock be more suitable or is there a better option? Thanks, George |

yes its over sprung for your weight. problem is you have to start hacking bits off the undertray to fit anything else.

I've already done that with the zx10 shock as it was a 45 degree reservoir.

in that case the the GSXR 600 k4-5 should be a perfect spring rate for you then.

Excellent, would that require the bottom bolt for it aswell or would the standard from the SV be okay?

Just checked back to the forum when I bought it.. Turns out its a 2007 ZX6-R shock. Still feels oversprung though!

ermm yup that would be very very oversprung and also raise the rear about 15mm.
