Member Contributer Bikerholic Posted May 27, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted May 27, 2008 Just got back from the bikes rallies down in Myrtle Beach and i was able to get a couple demo (Kawi ZX-14 and Concours 14) rides and now i know what good/new suspension suppose to feel like. This got me thinking, how can i rejuvenate my suspension? Is it just replacing the springs up front and damper+Coil in the back? Or is there more to it? Thanks in advance. :fing02: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Change your fork oil/get springs for your weight. If you want to go the extra mile, get the RaceTech Gold Valves for it. You have a variety of options when it comes to shocks - Ohlins, Penske, Wilbers, Elka to name a few(all are damper + spring). Lots of money, but money spent very wisely!

Baileyrock Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 It's all buget based! Start here: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.p...c+shock+options I'm not a big RaceTech fan myself, but many people like'em. Several other companies sell valves kits for the forks and others will rebuild and mod what you already have. I used Phil at Aftershocks on my Vtec forks, he rebuild/revalved/resprung my forks for $300-350 and that's cheaper then the cost of just the Gold Valves alone. :fing02: How many miles on your bike? Minimum would be fresh oil and the correct springs for your weight, Some people go all the way and do a RC51 type fork swap and a Ohlins/Penske rear shock or hundreds of options in between. :fing02: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
