Rear Spring for ZX-6R F1

Post by matt6 »

Hi Guys,

Having a bit of a play with the suspension settings on the weekend, the rear seems to have a lot of rider sag (about 40mm) and already has a lot of preload wound on - the collars are a long way down the shock body. I am guessing I should be chasing a stiffer rear spring in that case? Has anyone here had some experience they could pass on, or point me in the right direction for where to get a new spring?

Thanks,

Matt

I may have a heavier WP spring in my race room. But I am not sure if it will fit a standard Shock or not. I would have to have a look at both to see. But if you get stuck, PM me and we can sort it. The spring is for sale, just not sure how much I would want for it! We'll cross that bridge if we come to it!
