ZX636 Shock swap on a Curvy (k1)

[Mr Speirs]

Have you also bought the bolt from Kawasaki for the bottom bit??

I got a mate who's a mechanic to thread the arm of the shock for me and just used the orginal SV bolt.

I reserve the right to waiver......Blah blah blah responsibility blah blah.

Hope it helps, it is a fairly easy job & makes one heck of a difference to the bikes handling

Glad to be of service

Just to update;

Shock was a complete bitch to get off, bolts felt like they had been welded in, but after a lot of sweat and tears (mainly thru hitting myself with a sledge hammer) we managed to do the swap and for those of you still riding with stock sv suspension ohh my god what a difference. For £115 i now have a completely new bike it is amazing!

Big kudos to all who have helped and offered advice.

I did my fork oil and seals last night, oh how lovely the bike is now, with its lovely shock.
