GSXR1000 rear shock
fitted a K4 GSXR1000 rear shock yesterday.
Took it for its first short run tonight. Seems an improvement! Still need to fine tune the settings a bit more. Got the static sag and rider sag set OK |

Re: GSXR1000 rear shock
Does it alter the ride height? Is it a stiffer spring rate ? Specifically, what kind of improvement have you noticed ? Is it a straight swap with no mods ?
Thanks Ratty

I was hoping it would and as the gsxr shock is a bit longer (according to the data) i thought it would. Like a tit i didnt measure the height prior to fitting the shock. As i say, i have only done a short ride since fitting, but the ability to soak up potholes seems improved. The new spring is rated at 8.6Kg/mm against the stock SV1K of 8Kg/mm. I do mainly ride 2 up so this was something i wanted. No mods required as i had already cut away the toolbox under the battery box. Last edited by stevebetts; 26-06-09 at 09:02 AM. |
