Title: fz1 r1 r6 forks can any one settle this arguement
Post by: lewiseyers on 20 February 2014, 06:29:53 pm

I say the fz1 forks are totally different to r6 and r1, i know they are, but just to settle the arguement,........




my pal recons from the factory the fz1 comes with r6 forks, i say the 25 year old puppy should stick to his old c90 and bandit 600
 
i recon they share no similar parts and are completely different, although they can be easily made to fit

Simple fix: compare part numbers.  :)

Different.

Depending on the year, the R1 forks are fully adjustable.

I just ditched my FZ1 forks for 08 R1 forks for the adjustability.

thats correct hi and slow speed damping too




the fz1 forks are very soft very basic and only have the most basic of adjustment compression in one leg and rebound in the other, my pal will not believe it though,
