took fz1 out and gave it bit more on the corners than I have been sunday.i found it had me out of the seat couple of times.that made me think rebounding to quickly.also had some very spongy moments or should I call it wollowing.the wollowing made me think spring to soft so up I went with preload it made no difference.i then tried uping the compression still I have the same probs.can it be that I need a harder spring.i weigh a very light 14 stone dry.any ideas anyone.i have seen things about putting r1 or r6 rear shock on.has this worked for anybody. :rolleyes
Gen2 the r6 sadly won't work the r1 unit works with an adapter more info on usa site
Otherwise it's after market I'm afraid
Put the year of your bike up mate and I'll check the spring rate for it - will be able to let you know how close it is.
In general though the FZ1 shock isn't particularly good from what I've experienced, for my (10 and a bit stone weight) it was relatively seriously oversprung and also underdamped, best (but most expensive) bet budget allowing is to buy a decent aftermarket shock for it. My personal vote would be one of the Nitron range
my bike is an 07 model.its like the spring is to soft and making it pogo.thanks for your post fello fzer
