ZX10 shock or ZX6?
That would explain a lot :P
What sort of weight would it be more suitable for? |

Re: ZX10 shock or ZX6?
on an sv pointy i would hazard a guess at about 19+ stone.
i'm surprised the back end was actually moving.. lol bet you felt every hump and bump in the road. |

Re: ZX10 or ZX6 shock? K4.
I had the 2006 zx10r shock on my sv and I'm 12 stone. Wasn't over sprung IMO and no cutting required (although I gather you've already done this to accommodate your existing shock). Its spring rate is only 8.3 kg/mm as opposed to the 9.2 kg/mm of your existing zx6 shock which I agree is over sprung for your weight.
Bibio is right about the gsxr 600 k4/k5 being a a lower spring rate but it's actually less than the standard shock on the sv (stock sv is 7.7 kg/mm, gsxr k4-5 is 7.6 kg/mm). Do you really want to be going softer than the original rear shock at 12 stone? Check out this chart to see what I'm talking about https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlotUijBbxpCdDFGenIwQjg2MTcwS2swVFF0TU5UX 3c&authkey=COvG24gH&authkey=COvG24gH#gid=1 |
