R6 rear shock on the FZS600

[mobile mouse]

If you stick with the 600 dogbones does it raise the back end up.
If so by how much does anyone know...



Just found the post on the old Yuku site and it does not mention the need to replace the dogbones.
Just had a read and other than swapping the springs over you need to do the following:


The spring collet retaining washer on the thou shock needs to be reduced in diameter also plastic spring seat reduced, "bench grinder" also the spring tension adjusting bracket will have to be ground away "angle grinder" on the side away from the gas can otherwise it will wear away the coolant overflow tank
I was going to replace the coolant with waterless coolant and then do away with the expansion/overflow tank.

So I will not need to do any of the above.
Unless the bits that need grinding foul on the swing arm I hope not.

found this also which also explains the mod

With the addition of this minor adjustment. The shock top mounting lug on the frame needs a little grinding out on the underside because the shock fouls the bracket., (a millimeter or so) to get the bolt in. Then just touch up the frame with black enamel
