This video has confirmed the rear shock is the next modification on my ninja 400, ergo’s and suspension over power modifications.
Hello Dave,
How would you test/evaluate that the new shock spring has the right stiffness and the valving is correct for the rider + bike combo? Set the static and rider sag and observe travel used and also based on tire wear? I am in a proces of rebuilding a 1984 Honda VF 500 F, the original shock was leaking and I couldn´t get parts to rebuild it. So I made brackets to install 2006 CBR600F shock. I´m going to set the static and rider sag to recommended values and observe travel used, set rebound damping accordingly and start with compression damping in the middle. Is there something more or different you would recommend me to do?
Best Regards
Pavel
Excellent video Dave. Look forward to your performance evaluation. I did this to my triumph speed four. GSXR 1000 donner shock. Yellow spring = 11.6kg/mm. Heavy mods to battery box.(remove most of the floor) 2mm internal stroke limiter, Race tech piston and valving for Daytona 600. They don’t have speed four listing. Because I love to tinker, I added The rebound separator valve nut 1 month after conversion. I highly recommend this nut. Rear does not feel like its dropping with hard acceleration. I hope you can do a video on the high speed and low speed compression as well as rebound settings. Be strong and courageous. Scott
