Budget Replacement Shock 2000 SV650SY? - SV650.org

Ay up folks

Please Help......my rear shock has decided to do an oil wee today and spit everywhere..........

I know this means i need a new shock which is fine..........BUT

i am on a budget (very tight thanks to the dog and the vet!) and was wondering if it possible to put a shock from a K3 or later model on my 200 Y model?

i only ask as im looking at second hand from Ebay and see there are a few out there from 03 onwards models and would rather buy a newer one tha another one thats 12 years old and likely to go the same way

ANy help / advice is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Baz

No, shock length is different

Better to get a Gixxer shock, plenty of threads about this

WIll have a look at the Gixxer option.

Thanks Again

Don't forget Kwak zx6 & zx10 are also suitable I think

Widens your options
