[bambi18]

HI,my S4 suspension got bent in an accident by a gundu driver.....now im currently looking for a new or old supension.....but im more interested in the quality...in terms of soft or hard ,wear and tear....pricing wise shouldnt be more than $400....r if anyone is letting go spec1 original..pls care to pm me...

 

 

Ps:Pls state,which shop to go too...or could it be found in malaysia

[skateboy]

hi bro... u can consider aftermarket suspension. not necessary showa... as long as it's compatible can already... but dun buy too cheapo cos too cheap means something...

 

i changed to a gas rear shock for $250 like that, forget the price... use for a year liao... not bad... brand is Gazi....

 

there are others like bitubo which u can consider...

 

 

:goodluck: for ur hunting...

u finding for

front suspenion (fork)

or rear suspenion

[duckit]

Anyone ? If i adjust hardness meanin the bike will also be lowered right ?

Need helpful input thanks...

[nebulaz]

stiffer go higher..yup.....ur stock toolbag got the C-clamp tool adjust ur shock...just use dat with the extension bar...also in ur stock tool bag..enjoy experimenting

[duckit]

Okie , thanks , will update if i manage to make it stiffer . But guess the bike will be lowered again ...

[nebulaz]

for me , the best setting for my Vtec 3 is to go to the fourth setting (stiffer by 1 click) and 2nd groove for the adjustable blue screw on the forks..damn swee for my weight ....its easy, just try..cos if u dun like the setting can always set back to stock settings

[duckit]

Alright , i did it , Same setting for the rear , but front i cannto adjust as im ridin Spec 1 .

But i tried all the 5 setting , like no different to me , but neverless , i still set to fourth , 2nd stiffer .. Thanks man , its a easy job thou...

[Judd]

hmm got to try dis.. been tinking bout it. mine feels softer la. been riding my spec 2 for 3 yrs oredy.

[Guest 6.5rpm]

Guys.. how u all lowered down? i wanna make it 1 lever down as now its at the highest (lever 5).. i tried using the tool but seems like quite hard to turn down, isit need alot of force cos i scared tat something will break if use too much force..

[duckit]

Juz the C-Clamp and the external , so less force is needed .

Juz Hook nicely in the hole and turn in the direction you want , confirm can .

[nebulaz]

use the extension bar bro....easy...evry rider has different weight and needs..hehe..

[Joyrider]

Any 1 noe where can I get my showa harden(adding a metal ring around the suspension)? Issit possible to do it? Where can it be done and cost? Will have any disadvantage anot?

[Joyrider]

Possible to put the ring around the suspension?

[eddie23]

[Navdeep86]

[A.X]

[adrianleong]

Hello guys jus want to know whether my suspension is faulty.Cos my chain is lose quite fast.i have jus change the chain early this yr.the brand is EK.my fren told me maybe is the suspension cause it cos my suspension is quite soft and is fully extend to the max.No sign of oil leak.check rear bearing n swing arm bush is okie.only the suspension is soft.so would like to ask it is like that or need to go for rebuilt.My bike is spec 1,i think previous owner got change the shock to older one n he coat PVC coat to the suspension to prevent rust.

 

Any helpers?

 

sorry for broken english.

[thoms]

btw, do fautly suspension spoiled chain n spockets?

[duckit]

If your suspension is realli too soft , imagine you go over a hump , the bump goin thru ur suspension will be increase as ur suspenion be depressed and ur chain will be stretch .

get ma idea ?
