ZZR1400 Shock Fitting?

Thats the figures fitted to to the ZX.

ARRGGH! Im confused now. Just been reading up again properly so that I dont waste any cash. Ive checked on the Racetech site to get the recommended spring rate and with my weight they reckon as near to 8.725 kg/mm as poss.

Considering the length of the shock and ease of fitting, its 1 of 3, going from the google docs spreadsheet. Either a 2006/7 ZX10R (8.3 kg/mm), 2008 ZX10R (9.1 kg/mm) or a 2007/8 ZX-6R (9.2 kg/mm). I think the original though of the ZX14 shock is going to be too stiff at 9.7 kg/mm.

Sooooooo, my next question is, has anyone fitted one of the shocks mentioned above and can you give me any feedback on it please.

Sorry to mess everyone about. I just want to get his next purchase right.

Cheers

I'm about 13st kitted up and I have Hagon progressive fork springs and a ZZR1400 rear shock. I don't find the rear too stiff.

What year is the ZZR shock from?

2009. Simple to fit.

...I am getting a ZZR1400 shock for my K6 650S, it will not have the lower mounting bolt with it, so can I use the original Suzy lower bolt or does anyone know where I can order a genuine Kwacker one and what the part number will be...

A genuine Kawasaki bolt, my guess would be a Kawasaki dealership
More than likely you will need a new bolt and won't be able to reuse the old one.

When I fitted mine I used the nut and bolt from the bottom of a ZZR1400. The standard SV one won't fit. You can just ask your local Kawasaki dealer for the bottom but and bolt from a ZZR1400 shock and they will sort you out.

Bear in mind, you may need to shave a couple of mm off the length of the bolt. I did with mine anyway.

There is a way to use the existing bolt, but will not mention it for fear of getting told of putting people's safety at risk. I'll let an expert mention it. But just to let you know, there is a way

Just get the Kwak bolt for what it's worth.
