Anyone knows where to buy the shims needed to stack for a compressed rear suspension?

 

I wanna try compress the spring so that setting 5 becomes 4 or if more aggressively, becomes 3.

 

I think 1x setting should be about 4mm bah.

Wont the spring will be so super compressed that it wouldnt pick up the bumps on the road. Or rebound so sharply that it hurts? Try and let us know hor.

overall, this bike is pretty reliable and there's nothing much that you need to do. perhaps just need to replace your engine oil and ride. do also be cautious on the 250kg dry weight and long wheelbase. try not to steer the handle too much at low speed/making u turn. for repair, i will recommend you to ah choong aka ac motor to check out your transmission components, clutch bearing and wheel bearing condition. he will advise you on what to replace accordingly. my previous silverwing has already clocked 208000km and has no single transmission or engine issue at all.

david, teck whye aka named david who is located at serangoon/bradell rd does assist in this modification. i done on my previous fjs400. damage was $120 for a total of 4 spacers (2 x 1cm spacer aside). initially, i does feel a difference in the height of the rear shock however after sometimes when the spring is once again soften, you will feel that the stiffness of the shock is back to square one. hence investing on hagon rear shock will the best upgrade and effective.

[SW9000]

Haha, just a thought.

 

Still felt the Stock is a bit more comfortable but unfortunately, too soft for pillion or cornering.

Was thinking of stiffening up a bit without affecting the comfort.

** But $120 for 2cm is a bit too much. Probably DIY a 0.5cm (1 stop) or 1cm enough (2 stop).

 

My Hagon at the moment is ok.

Can feel slight bump on the butt over humps (you won't feel that with the Stock suspension) but better overall control.

hi welmo ... welcome to the SW & HOM community

 

odometer mileage is one thing, more important is whether the bike is well taken cared or not.

i would recommend that you do a thorough post purchase maintenance, at least make sure the safety aspects are not compromised.

we have a rather detailed (but not exhaustive) check list at the SW tech corner...

* Buying An Used (Aka 2nd Hand) Silver Wing?

 

suggest you also check out the our Tech/Info corner, lots of info and poisons there

Silverwing 400cc / 600cc Tech Corner

 

another thing is, we gather almost every Thursday at Rail Mall from 7pm to around 9+pm (except on special occasions). do pop by if you're free.

some will be there about 6+pm for dinner and departure is free to go basis... no fees, no marking attendance; only lots of TCSS and eyerobics

hi, i noticed that there is no setting indicator on my hagon shocks unlike the stock which shows 1-5. how to adjust the stiffness? im lost as i dun know which setting im at now, thanks

[SW9000]

Only 3 settings.

Use the tool provided to turn. The compression changes on the spring is very obvious to the eye.
