or can add spacer.. My rear shocks gone already. I'm 110kg plus pillon, sure hit the max one. So i added a 1/2 inch space and set to the 2nd hardest setting. Not to bad but damping a little gone. Do not get the suspension jack up thing. Spoils the geometry of the bike. Some ppl like it but don't think they realise that it can break. My friend installed on wave... Broke off while riding. Luckily was going slow...

how much u get ya spacer for?

ah boy will fix for u or wat?

is the spacer make of steel or alum?

what' the diff between jet-up kit N spacer? don't mind!!!!!!!!!

[hachi]

Jet up kit is to place a extention kit linkage between the sus and swing arm whereby spacers is to install inside ur sus between ur pressing against ur spring to increase preload even more. So spacers is inside ur sus and wont break and Jet up kit if breaks when u ride or corner then good luck to u.

 

And I dont think those LAB jet up kit are safe enough. U know the quality of alu they used.

 

For spacers got o bikelab cost about $230 for rebuilt of rear sus as well spacers.

[William Tan]

I got a pair of my spacers at about $60. It's custom made by my mech. I started wth a 1 in spacer but too hard. So reduce to 1/2 inch. Easy to install. If you got a box... a little more trouble some .... Have to take out the suspension. My mech's name is Rosli and is located Eunos industrial park.

Hi,

Anybody noe how much front fork oil ??

[kirra55]

Check your service manula, for weight of oil and quantity. Be careful with amount of oil, if the forks are not dry,there will be some already in the forks.

Fork oil is available in differnt grades. Use a graduated measuring device, a syringe is good. Buy them at pharmacist. Or use measuring jug with 1ml increments.

 

Check Tech Forum for your model see if anyone else has already asked this.l

My current stock suspension has been rebuilt once at BikeLab but seems it has leaked once again so intending to change to an aftermarket one without the hydralic res next to it.

Have heard friends introducing KONI but KONI has since closed and stop manufacturing.

I wonder if anyone here using any aftermarket Rear Suspension???

What's the brand and proformance so far....

Or anyone could recommend some aftermarket shocks from LAB??? brand and performance so on.

 

Thanks.... would be great if price listing included too.

[PaLmEr]

maybe stating your budget here would help?

agreed...

[S4Sixty]

Koni is not produced by the original company.

Now it's machinery and production techniques are bought over by an Australian company and procduces simliar shocks under the name Ikon.

 

I suggest u try Bitubo from Unity.

Koni/Ikon is too soft to handle the weight of a Super 4.

 

Cheers !

[muniu368]

Sorry newbie here.... Address for Unity?

[lindavw]

Bitubo?

heard it's quite ex leh. budget ard 200-300 can get 1 pair anot? if good my fren oso 1 2 change to bitubo.
