Thanks for constructive reply Kebab 19. The Thou and R6 do have very similar stroke. the R6 unit can in fact be set softer, Even my partner/ passenger, notices the improved ride quality, as it has more control (hence the idea) !
The 600 Fazer standard unit in fact has an 800 lb's spring, (nearly twice the rate of the thou spring, but as the thou unit is assisted by gas " I don't know what poundage extent" ! This is where the extra spring rate comes from . The thou unit on my 600 (with 600 spring ) has good control but is a bit crashy and works best with rebound set to max. On the whole when newish the 600 unit is not such a bad unit , Mine was knackered and I had a spare thou unit which had been re furbished . So cost me now't to try
As will the R6 unit cost nothing to swap over !
