Damienga15de Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Just recieved my s1000rr rear shock today 8.5kg/mm and have ordered some k-tech front springs 1kg/mm racetech calculator says i need a 9.7 kg/mm shock spring and .99kg/mm fork springs, for my weight, i know the bmw shock is closer to what i need but would it be worth getting a 9.5kg/mm spring for it ? The forks will be rebuilt with anything needed supplied by the local mechanic. Has anyone a similar setup ? or care to chip in with some advice Quote Link to comment
Sandman Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I am using the same setup on my GSXR-750RR and GSXR-750J. The front forks are from a YZF R6 03/04 with K-Tech cartridges and spring rate 10 N/mm . Rear shocks are ohlins SU503 (GSXR1000 K5/K6) With spring rate 95 N/mm. Both are racebikes With gsxr 1100 engines and the setup is realy good. 2 Quote Link to comment

Damienga15de Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Here's the first part of the puzzle anyway , just have to figure out how to strap up the bike now as iv loaned my engine crane out Quote Link to comment
dupersunc Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 You must be a big lad if this is road bike. For reference I'm 92kg in all my kit. 9.5kg/mm fork springs were a little harsh on the road though worked great on the track at he sharp end of the fast group. this was on a '91 7/11 with stock road body work and lights. That said I am going to try 10kg/mm fork springs on my race bike, as this get's ridden harder and I'm running out of travel and get tramping on corner entry. I run 9.5 rears with 30mm extra ride height, this works great. Quote Link to comment

Dazzler Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Have you lifted the rear with longer bones or leaving them stock length? Quote Link to comment
Damienga15de Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Stock for now , will put risers in eventually had a little off at the weekend so gonna get fairings sorted after forks are done Quote Link to comment
Damienga15de Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Ran out of wire from the starter to the relay to get it mounted behind the fuse box looks like I'm losing my little space for my disc lock Quote Link to comment
