Softer than 300’s 475-lb/in, same as new-gen.
Check out www.ex-500.com and see that most common rear-shock upgrade on 500 is going to new-gen 250 or 300 shock. New-gen 250 shock is actually quite stiff, what you may be looking for is adjustable damping. |
Thanks for the info, I will ditch that idea. I will wait for the 1st track day and see how the rear feels. The forks are at the shop now getting the racetech springs, heavier weight oil and pre load adjusters installed!
I think the stock suspension on the 400 is softer than the 2011 250. The stock front end on the 250 is definitely stiffer than the 400.
The GSXR shock is a huge improvement over the stock shock in the 400. I could feel the difference with just a short ride. Can’t wait to rip around the track with this set up!
