Title: s2r 800 - rear shock replacment spring for heavier riders Post by: convict on August 26, 2014, 03:50:55 PM http://racetech.com/ProductSearch/2/Ducati/Monster%20S2R%20800/2007 (http://racetech.com/ProductSearch/2/Ducati/Monster%20S2R%20800/2007)
springs for the front and back emailed them and confirmed with the s2r 800 the spring replacement is direct onto the stock rear shock without any other parts required. [beer] of course for those with bottomless pockets the ohlins 321 rated for 175lbs and then add the optional ohlins spring for extra monies but then again if you got all that cash go buy a new bike. ;D Title: Re: s2r 800 - rear shock replacment spring for heavier riders Post by: Speeddog on August 26, 2014, 03:55:30 PM Curious, how much do you weigh, and which spring(s) did they recommend?

spring or ohlin with spring so the racetech spring has not been established also waiting for the local dealer to get back to me about getting ohlin sprung as all they seem to have in stock is the stock sprung shock. and still waiting....... but my thinking is save the money, racetech spring and do the front springs, again with racetech unless someone has a better idea. oh 210lbs but its all muscle [drink] Title: Re: s2r 800 - rear shock replacment spring for heavier riders Post by: convict on June 04, 2015, 05:11:55 PM the front is still not completed
but got a new used 999 shock in the rear only put a few miles on it but in one word Planted Title: Re: s2r 800 - rear shock replacment spring for heavier riders Post by: djomlas on June 05, 2015, 09:48:57 AM i used a super bike rear shock, from 999. same as 749.
works like a charm, its dirt cheap, and copes with my 220lb 6ft body much nicer than stocker. i paid like $30 and sold my stock s2r one for like $40, so didn't even pay for the upgrade. theres plenty of them on eBay.

Title: Re: s2r 800 - rear shock replacment spring for heavier riders Post by: Devo68 on June 10, 2015, 11:04:25 PM seems like it would be easy to drop more money in suspension than what the bike would cost.
i've also been screwing around with an S2R800. my only consolation is to think the parts can go onto other bikes Title: Re: s2r 800 - rear shock replacment spring for heavier riders Post by: 2WheelsFTW on June 11, 2015, 07:10:46 PM When I had my suspension tuned, the tech suggested I get my rear spring swapped out. I have an S4R rear Sachs and I'm 210lbs, so I'm curious to know what I should be looking into.
