Welcome to the world of shock....

same prob wif mi....

 

Well gen 1 rear shock spring is kinda soft even brand new....

if u are a heavy weight like mi ..

would rec u change the spring....

even if u nt heavy weight change the stock spring it suks....

 

if revalve yr shock...

range is abt $280 fr teckchye...

hw yr preload dampering & rebound...

preload max click is 10...

dampering & rebound is USE FOR Minor adjustment only!!!

yr preload is at hw many clicks nw???

mine is at 9 (but kinda sucky liao)

 

if ok juz change spring (but rec to do revalve oso)

gen1 oem shock are gd & i tink it better than gen2 less the stupid spring....

 

For springs .....

2 types, progressive & linear (if i no worng)

Progressive behave same like our oem spring lah....

linear gt weight issue

meaning if u 100kg must get a spring suit for tat kind of weight.

so usuallly linear spring aft install usually will have a external preload adjuster

so if u go touring wif xtra box gt 2 adjust....

 

Usually progressive spring is gd enuf....

unless u trackie lah....

 

juz order a set of hyperpro springs

front fork springs wif oil

rear spring.

$460 promo wif install at motoworld.(still waiting 4 arrival)

juz rear spring wif install is ard $250

they juz take out rear shock wash it up install spring onli ...

no revalve....

 

hope these help....

 

(ps: pls correct me if i made any mistake on the tech issues)

 

thanks bro, i was looking at hyperpro rear spring also..

Actually there are 3 types of springs.

 

Progressive:

In progressive springs each coil is spaced differently and have a variable spring rate. When free, it is easy to compress progressive springs for first centimeters. As you apply more forces, coil on a progressive spring come closer. After a certain point, coil at the top 1/4 of progressive springs begin to touch each other and finally become inactive or dead, and that makes the spring stiffer. Apply more forces to a progressive spring then it becomes stiffer because as the number of active coils in a spring decreases, the spring rate increases.

So, progressive springs may both be sensitive to very small bumps on the road, while giving the stiffness you need during hard braking and turning.

 

 

 

 

Linear:

In a normal linear spring, space between the coils are equal. Linear rate springs are designed to respond with a specific rate when compressed. Usually good for track-goers or racers who need a high spring rate and a predictable and fixed feel on the racetrack so they can play around with their settings.

And a not so common one....

 

Step Linear Springs:

These are springs that have a 2 different spring rate. You can say.. 2 differently coiled linear springs one on top of each other.

 

http://www.tuninglinx.com/assets/images/img_spring_step.jpg

 

In a two-step linear spring, about half the coils have shorter spacing. As the spring compresses, the coils move closer. At a certain point, the shorter spaced coils touch, effectively eliminating them from the spring. You then have a spring comprised of only the longer coils. This "second-step" spring will be much stiffer than the whole spring (the more coils, the easier it is to compress the spring). The result is that you have one set of handling characteristics before the shorter coils touch and then you have another, completely different level of response after they touch.

 

 

Came across this info while I was doing some reading. Interesting isn't it?

nice man... INTERESTING! new knowledge gained!

[joeboxer82is]

Great info on the springs!

[aeX]

so erm wat is fazer gen 1 and gen 2 springs?

[stwb1981]

gOOD INFO on the spring mate..!!!!!

thumbs up!!!!

 

Most oem springs are progressives.....

gen1 oem is using kayaba...

heard ti nt bad fr oversea forum but the spring suks.....

so many rec to change the spring to either aftermarket progressive (hyperpro) or linear (k-tech)

 

btw mates....

any gen1 riders "decat" & oso remove the exup system (remove the cables & tied the exup value at open position )

or gen1 no "cat" to "decat"??

 

with regards to decat....

sum say gd better sound more responsive etc.....

but i rem abt nt having enuf compression thus yr top end will be saricific

any comments...

 

i am tinking of removing the exup system hmmm......

Mine is gen2 FZ1N.I have removed the exup system with the help of our fellow forumer.Btw my bike was already installed with the Remus endcan when I took it out from the shop.After running in,I went to Ah Meng to get it decat.Seriously,if there was any difference in performance after decatting,it was mild but air flow was very smooth.I don't feel like something is blocking it.Sound wise also about the same if not very mild increase.

After doing these 2 things,my midrange onwards did improved a little.RPM did climb up faster than usual after decatting.This review is based on my experience.Diff riders might experience different feeling.

[joeboxer82is]

The stock FZ1N headers has catalysers that I have removed.As for my REMUS exhaust end can,there is a catalyser as well in the midpipe so I have 2 in total.Not all midpipe have catalyser as I've personally seen my buddy's Akra.His is straight thru.

yo bro...

fz6s s2 also can decat de ma? wonder is there any exup for us too? u know?

[joeboxer82is]

I think all headers have catalyser coz if I'm not wrong,it's a kind of standard thingy that bikes have to pass through some tests.. I might be wrong.. Any Fazer6 riders care to give their input??

[joeboxer82is]

As for the exup wise,maybe you can go some website find out

I'm not really sure about Fazer 6.Might not have due to the design of the exhaust up the underneath of the seat.. maybe.. maybe not.

[0yuan0]

fz6 need to cut out the L pipe there to decat, then weld back

[pichudot]

i think there's no exup. tried goggle-ing and ever did asked in the forum. ;D

but i guess 100% got catalyst. but, how do u remove it ar bro? diy or ask shop?

[joeboxer82is]

Serious ah Yuan??Cut then weld back??Siao liao if weld wrongly stock pipe end up like the new Leo Vince GP pipe(got so many weldings)..

 

Btw pichudot,I went to Ah Meng in JB to get it decat.. Btw gtg work now.Will be back in the early morning..

seng kwang got do.

wow so troubleshome sia... if get a aftermarket exhaust with mid pipe then no need to do such trouble le right?
