R6 Shock from Kebab - Pike - 29-06-16
Thanks for the R6 shock Kebab!
It went in so easily, everything was almost instant, except lining up the top mount which took a little while.
I took my bike for a ride as it came, with close to stock R6 settings and it was race track stiff, so I loosened everything up 3/4 clicks and knocked off 1 preload (1 less than standard, I have a heavier weight spring than ideal for 1up riding) and now the bike is more of a pogo stick than the original. And that's a good thing! I can't believe there is so much adjustment, I thought it was merely going to allow fine tuning.
So I just need to tighten everything up 2 clicks and I think I'll be golden!
I definitely recommend the conversion, I also put 15wt oil in the forks and they are 10 fold better, although that's probably because the fork oil may have never been changed before.

Very nearly got it perfect now. Thank you Kebab!

Hi,
Out of interest, how technical is the work involved? I'm a mechanical noob so while I'm contemplating this, I'm not sure I'd be able to do it myself.
Cheers

I made a minor adjustment to rebound and now I don't think I could actually get a better rear shock (Although I'm sure I could find a better adjustment if I tried, but don't want to spend time fiddling with it now).
It actually wasn't difficult to fit at all for me on my own, I just put a little toolkit box under the rear wheel and all the holes lined up.
