So, used Motul 15W fork oil on the front forks /w Emulators. Put 465ml (or 475, can't remember).
EMU's spring adjuster was turned too much and front end was really harsh. Rebound was no better, so now I'm switching to Motul 20W oil.

Questions:
1. How oil level more/less affects the front end with emu's installed?
2. How much oil do I need to put it? Give me your specs (in ml or oil height)

Hello again. I have chosen to buy some linear springs, to fit into newly rebuilt forks.
The first question: which springs from which year SV650? I have R6 shock fitted in the back, so will it affect something in the front?
I'm looking at Ohlins linear front fork springs, because I can buy them locally here and that would be a great upgrade over the original Yamaha yo-yoos.

Full geared up weight: about 70kg. But casually taking a passenger!
Using 15W fork oil /w Debrix emulators.
Original spacers are not cut yet. Waiting for the spring install.

For example: if I needed 8N/mm springs, would it be best to get 8.5N/mm spring just to compensate for the passenger?
In conclusion: Which Ohlins linear springs to get? 7N/mm? 8N/mm? Other?

you get them from the states ?

Yes.

what ever you are doing with the front forks please don't say you are putting the original foccing Yoo Yoos back in.
I would recommend a pair of linear springs matched to you fully clothed riding weight.

Yes, at the moment stock springs are going back in.
Bike: FZS 600 (2003 Foxeye).

I have browsed the forums very throughly and found a couple of things:
1. Rear shock: needs top spacers and new M10 bolt (10x80mm).
2. Emulators: drill 4 x 10mm holes into damper rod

Hello, Foccers.
I have my R6 rear shock and Debrix emulators. I have a couple of installation questions, because I couldn't find any info on some things regarding these.

• I have fitted Hyperpro progressive spring on the R6 shock (so I wouldn't need a spring spacer). The spring rate is 122Nm (about 700 lbs/in).
  If someone wants to fit this Hyperpro spring to their R6 shock, part number: SP-YA06-SSB036
  I will have my dogbones and top spacers fabricated (thanks for the Foccer, who provided drawings in another topic for all the parts).
  
• Got my emulators from ebay. The title says: 41mm Fork Damper Valves TC-88 Softail Touring Dyna FXST FLST FXDWG FLT 2000-UP.
  Have tried fitted these, they fit perfectly (see for pictures down below).

So, the questions:

1. R6 rear shock nuts & bolts. So, I guess I need to reuse the top bolt from the old shock, am I correct, or do I need to find another bolt (smaller)? Because R6 shock hole is smaller than the OEM shock.
2. Do I need to drill the R6 top hole for the old bolt? Or put in new (smaller) bolt. Will it fit & hold into place into old mounting holes?
3. Why I need top-spacers? Are they for smaller bolt or R6 shock top mount is thinner than OEM, so the spacers?

4. EMULATORS! First thing I wanted to do is just put them in forks and just saw off the same height (as the emulator body) from the fork spacer. Is this correct?
5. How many holes to drill into damper rod and how big? Can someone provide bore sizes? Looking at the Race-Tech instruction and Youtube, they usually drill like 5 or 6 holes.
6. Planning to use 15W oil (light rider, about 70kg when geared up). I can easy change the oil after if needed. Or do you recommend 20W straight away?

So the summary:
1. R6 shock top bolt and holes.
2. Damper rod holes & fork spacer changes for the emulator installation + oil viscosity.


Some photos of the build.




Hyperpro spring fitted + nitrogen refilled for the shock.





Plus, a couple of mods for the Fazer.
1. Akrapovič carbon-fibre titanium slip-on from FZ1
2. Gilles rearsets
3. Radiator cover
4. Brembo radial master cylinder from R1 (focced up mine, so this one needs a replacement)






Thanks for any input, any help will be appreciated! 

Hello guys, ordered R6 (2011) 13S shock from fleabay.
Will fit it to 2003 Foxeye (600cc). I know that I need spacers for top (from 12mm to 10mm bolt) and dogbones. Anything else?
Would be much grateful, if you can provide me with links/contacts to where I can get these items.

Thank you
