R6 rear shock on the FZS600

[Robbus]

Just a quick note to say mine's fitted and has a few hundred miles on it now. Currently running default settings from Jeff:


"Setting the high/low compression damping at 4 turns out from full hard on the yellow high speed adjusting nut, and 16 clicks out from full hard on the low speed compression blue screw worked well for me, and my weight. Rebound damping i have set at 16 clicks out from full hard, and that worked well, also.


Preload is set midway, I haven't properly measured sag yet but I've not bottomed out yet so it can't be far wrong. Running a 675lb spring, I'm a couple of pounds over 14st when fuller clobbered up.


Impressions are it's a very worthwhile upgrade, even though I spend 75% of my time on motorways the old shock was still bouncing around in a rather undamped fashion, things are nice and smooth now. I've also got EMUs fitted to the forks and I was wondering if they actually worked but it turns out the old shock was so bad it was masking the front. With the new shock I can actually feel the front working properly which is a bit of a relief.


Cheers,
Rob
