Fitting a GSXR Shock - SV650.org

24-06-05, 10:12 AM

Got the shock...but before I start this weekend, will the top & bottom bolts fit OK with the replacement shock.

Anybody got any other tips to make it easier. I'm fitting a SRAD 750 shock.

Cheers

From what i have herd, the top bolt is ok, the bottom one has to be trimmed as the original SV shock has a threaded joint at the bottom while the GSXR one is not. You can either get a genuine GSXR lock bolt from a dealer or trim one down.

Hi Wolf

I've done this mod on my K3 with a GSXR 1000 shock, and it's definitely well worthwhile!

Assuming you've got a K3/4/5, then you will need a new bolt and nut for the bottom of the shock, where it connects to the suspension linkage by the dogbones.

The bolt and nut that you need are the same as the ones that go through the top of the shock, and can be bought from any Suzuki dealer for a few pounds, the part numbers are:

1 x 09103-10143 BOLT
1 x 08319-31107 NUT

Be aware that the but must go in from the right hand side of the bike (as you sit on it), and the nut screws in on the left. This is the opposite to the bolt that you'll remove from the stock shock, and is required so you can do the dogbones up again, and have enough clearance.

Remember to do all the nuts and bols up to the correct torques, some of these are quite high, so you'll need a big torque wrench.

You'll also need a breaker bar to get some of the bolts undone, and a second pair of hands will make your life considerably easier!

Good luck!

Wolf,

Go to street bikes, Halesowen i think the bolt & nut cost £2.

I think I got it from Joe, including discount, for about £2.90 or something. Cheap enough to warrant not making your own.

Plus this bolt was designed for the job.

Just been there at lunchtime! Perving over a new black Fireblade

Anyway...back to business. I got a Curvy K2 model so what bolts will I need?

cheers

No idea

Someone on here has done this... and I would imagine the bolts would still be the same.

I didn't need new nuts or bolts, it was a direct replacement.
