Important for thoose wishing to source own R6 shock

[SteveCardiff]

Is the R6 shock swap only for Gen 1 or does it fit on Gen 2 also? Cheers.

[devilsyam]

It's for gen1 only bud there is a mod for r1 shock to fit gen 2 it's on the yank site fz1oa.com mod is called Satan's adapter

[SteveCardiff]

Cheers mate.

Funny enough i've just been talking about you on the phone to a mutual friend - Rusty I thought it was only Gen 1 but i'm sure he said it was for Gen 2. Dopey brummie

I may be in touch soon as we're actively shopping for a Gen 2. But she only wants a green one and they seem as rare as hens teeth!

Hello, i`m new to this forum and this week i bought my own Fazer 1000, can someone please post a picture how original shock looks like, i would like to compare it to the one which is fitted on my bike, just to be sure if it`s still original or upgraded to R6 shock.

Just an update the new 2016 kayaba r6 unit works spring rate is the same but the top bush needs swapping out for the older r6 one, I've had to have a press tool made to get these buggers out and as the race teams are buying newer bikes I need to move forward to these shocks when avaliable
Specs are the same body is different but means no grinding now

[size=1.45em]THE SHOCK BELOW WILL NOT FIT EVEN WITH A HAMMER[/size]

[size=1.35em]Like it :lol [/size]

Surely it must depend on the size of the hammer and the number of blows employed. I have a 2 kilogram hammer that's quite heavy and more importantly it's metric.

Perhaps I could buy a number of theses hammers and a number of the wrong R6 shocks and sell them as a kit.

Knock yourself out buddy lol
