Re: K-tech front springs and spacer length
I've been a busy boy and bought a Zx14 shock today as well.

Re: K-tech front springs and spacer length
I'm 250lbs and have a top box with a work bag in. Very soon I should have a bike set up for my weight which would be nice

Re: K-tech front springs and spacer length
No plumbing needed. Order the original and will not steam.

Re: K-tech front springs and spacer length
Got the k-techs in as well as the Zx14 rear and all the sag set. It is a totally different animal now! It does t feel scary on corners anymore and doesn't chatter as you go straight on a slightly lumpy road. Wish I'd done it sooner!

Re: K-tech front springs and spacer length
Was it easy enough of a DIY job? My suspension is absolutely terrible. I’ve been looking into spring rates and I am recommended .90 springs on racetech, i weigh about 13’5 without gear. Did you follow any particular guide? I’ve read and watched conflicting advice that’s all, it’s one job I’ve been reluctant to start

Re: K-tech front springs and spacer length
Was easy mate. Crack the top nut whilst still on the bike. Take out spacer, washer and spring. Empty oil. Add 488ml of oil I did 15wt put spring, washer and spacer back in and screw back up. If you're doing seals as well it's more complex.
