Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / Re: BMW S1000RR shock conversion question
« on: 29 October 2014, 11:22:36 am »Does your shock have the silver or bronze coloured shock fork. The silver one allow adjustement of the sag to 20mm the bronze one only allow adjustement of the sag to 27mm.
I did fit a 10 mm spacer to my silver forked one to allow more adjustment, but found that adjusting the sag to 15mm made it hop over bumps and set it back to 20mm. I weigh about 87Kg.
Read back through my posts
The shock is a 2012 with silver fork; at last I have used a spring from a R6 shock with a 10 mm spacer, and the shock works great with my weight (95 kg dressed). In this configuration I have obtained a static sag of 15 mm and a rider sag of 35, but I felt the bike too hard; actually I have reduced the preload of 6 mm, with a rider sag of 41 mm, and I feel much more confidence and comfort.
The rebound damping is set to 5, I switch the LS compression damping between 2 and 3 depending on the road; the HS compression damping is 4 as standard, I have no idea how to set this one
