Title: Help with New Suspension Setup Post by: metzy on October 01, 2016, 07:09:22 AM Finding the ride on my 2007 M695 quite stiff and thinking of upgrading my suspension setup.
What would be a suitable rear shock based on 98.5Kg body weight? How about the front shocks? Ideally I'd like to do a straight swap out with minimal frame modifications. Will be sourcing from eBay as I live in Asia, (specific part numbers would be awesome!) Really appreciate some recommendations/advice.

The adjustable Showa forks from '00-'02 M900, '01-'02 S4, M1000, S2R1000, and any non-testastretta S4R are a good start. Then properly sprung for your weight, 0.90 or 0.95 springs. Rear shock from '01-'02 S4 is a direct bolt up, and is a bit better. Again, sprung for your weight, Ohlins -39 or -41. Or generic 650 lb/in spring, for example: http://www.traxxion.com/Shock-Spring-Hypercoil-7-x-650lb-x-225/ (http://www.traxxion.com/Shock-Spring-Hypercoil-7-x-650lb-x-225/) ST4s came with an Ohlins shock, that'll fit, but you'll need to find a suitable mounting area for the reservoir.

Didn't realise Tapatalk notifications was on, been though the settings so hopefully sorted that out now.

I found this 2002 S4 rear Sach on eBay for a reasonable price, do think think it will fit @Speeddog https://www.ebay.com/itm/122138214315 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/122138214315) Title: Re: Help with New Suspension Setup Post by: Speeddog on October 03, 2016, 07:17:27 AM I found this 2002 S4 rear Sach on eBay for a reasonable price, do think think it will fit @Speeddog https://www.ebay.com/itm/122138214315 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/122138214315) Yes, that'll bolt right on. Get a proper spring on it before you go to the effort of installing. Title: Re: Help with New Suspension Setup Post by: metzy on October 06, 2016, 05:44:38 AM Brought the rear shock @Speeddog now trying to source a spring.
Found these 2004 ST3 https://www.ebay.com/itm/141899672522 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/141899672522) will they fit my beast? Title: Re: Help with New Suspension Setup Post by: Speeddog on October 06, 2016, 07:50:11 AM They will fit your triple clamps and axle and brakes, but are only adjustable for spring preload.
And there is a possibility they are too long. I'd ask the seller for an overall length, compare to yours, fully extended. |
