Does anyone know the spring rate for a 2005 zx-10 rear shock?

Luckypants · 13-12-06, 05:22 PM

Seems from Racetech.com that 2004 and 2005 shocks are same item? Therefore, from list above a 2005 shock is 540#, stiffer than stock curvy shock and about same length. Anyone able to confirm?

How much should I pay for a second hand one (low miles < 1000)?

yes. I just fitted an '05 zx10r shock to my curvy, spring is notably stiffer than standard, works very nicely

They do, but they are undersprung compared to the 03-04 ZX636 and ZX10 <=05. So unless you are after a lighter but better shock, a Suzuki one is a non starter!!

If you want stiffer then it is the 03-04 ZX636 (B1?) and ZX10 <=05

As has been said before, I'm a bit cuddly! So need a stiffer spring, the SRAD ones don't cut it. Even considered a 'Busa shock, but that looks like it's waay to stiff.
