Title: Question on 2007 S4R and S2R forks
Post by: ICON on January 29, 2010, 02:25:41 PM
Since I'm in the market to replace Springs or drop a Cartridge kit into my S2R forks I'm looking at all brands now.

Are the S4R forks the same as the S2R forks? Reason I ask is because I saw a Cartridge kit from Racetech that fits the S4R and was wondering if they would work on my S2.

Thanks.

I would reckon that they are a bit stiffer as the s4r motor is heavier than the 2v motor, but prob. would work.  I am basing this on absolutely nothing BTW.

Why not just give 'em a call and ask?

good luck

If I'm not mistaken,...different valves, different spring, and of course the slider coating...

"I" don't know if the parts are compatible though...

that's the best disclaimer ever.

i think you are correct though, springs in the S4R are slightly heavier.

S4R uses Showas...

Pretty sure the S2R uses Marzocchis.

The head banging is on behalf of all the OTHER guys. I've had mine rebuilt with unequalled results [thumbsup]
Wouldn't mind the adjustability and tin surface though.

(try reversing that to Norwegian [laugh]

Hodet banging er på vegne av alle de andre gutta. Jeg har hatt mine gjenoppbygd med uovertruffen resultater waytogo
Ville ikke nær av regulerbar og tinn overflaten skjønt.

How'd I do?
