suspension question
Hi everyone !
i already bought new spring + emulator for my front suspension, but i was wondering if changing the rear for a 2 way shock relly improve the experience on the street. I saw an extensive review here for the rpm 2 way, but it was for track. what do you think people ? |

For around $30USD you can get a gsxr shock and some bones to get it set up. To me it's worth it, if your 99% commuter rider, maybe not so much.
Questions for you. What is your rear preload setting set to now? How much weight are you putting on the bike, rider with gear and luggage?

An 05-07 shock should do, from what I know. Some people find the spring to be TOO hard, so consider upgrading to a new custom spring or buying one off a gsxr1000 I think an 03'-04' should do...

As for the spring, it's just right for me. It's less harsh than the stock ninja spring, and it reacts more quickly.
