Anyway...Sev....Y is it better to rebuilt a secondhand shocks

 

save u lot's of cash for other things. that's the obvious.

[hachi]

Rebuilt cost about $200

Lousy sus cost less than $500

Good ones cost about 1k

So do your math

 

After rebuilt ur sus will be better than lousy ones maybe even beter than good ones

[Hellangel]

Okie...understand liao

Just that my shocks will not leak in the near future....cos nw bo $ liao

[Fazli]

I thought springs from reputable brands are colour coded to represent the stiffness?

 

Maybe black - soft, red - medium, yellow - hard?

Try some trouble shooting urself.... try to move ur fork up n down when ur bike is stationary.... c gt any sound anot... check if anything loose or anything rubbing against each other anot.....

[mnemonic]

Just wondering if i want to adjust the setting of the rear suspension to the next height,must we pay the motordiam to do it or issit free???cos i think my rear suspension is jacked up a little bit too high for me.

[Vtec1605198534]

adjusting the suspension will not have any effect on the ht of the bike....

[Sckona]

ypu can actually do it yourself ...

the only difference when you do that is to harden or soften your suspension setting.

[BOTAKQ]

Ya ... Think your tool kit got the 'C' tool.

[Guest LandLord]

diy urself

better to do ur bike something gain abit of knowlegde

[wX]

for the stock showa shocks i think the only adjustment u can do to it urself is the preloads. u should have a c tool in ur standard tool kit to do it

[mnemonic]

Adjust it myself.But i've misplaced that "C" tool.ANy idea whether must i pay if i were to go to motordiam to adjust??

[wX]

it's just a simple thing. dun think they will charge u for it. unless it's those kind of 'cat' motordiams prolly charge u $2 or something. just go borrow one and do it lar

[aNdRew8861]

Hi All "Old birds" got a Qn on suspension abt spec2...

Do all spec2 suspension feel spongy or very sensitive? i could feel every bounce on unlevel tarmac...making me feeling very uncomfortable and unsafe at high speed... do u guys experience this? pls advise .... Thanks

[stylomilo]

try to harden it?

think there are 5 levels of hardness...

inside the tool kit there is a tool 2 harden suspension...
