So I bought this FZS600 which had a Hagon Monoshock fitted. I thought the seller just hadn't set it up, but now think it needs re-gassing as the adjuster does not adjust the damping. I'm pretty sure there is oil in it.
But here's the thing; it's not an FZS600 shock. According to the Hagon site, it's an YZF R6 unit, which I believe people do fit to the FZS1000?
The bottom clamp/yolk/bracket appears to have been welded on at some point after it left the factory; not a bad job and a million miles better than I could do, but not as neat as the factory weld on the top clamp/yolk/bracket.
1. Do FZS600 and FZS1000 shocks have the same bottom bracket?
2. How do I test it properly? With it off the bike and the spring removed there is some resistance to compression and it rebounds in about a second which seems fast. That is with it the right way up; upside-down it rebounds instantaniously.
Thoughts? Offers!!!
