There' a lot of info on tuning this bike at loudon. I assume you researched a little about the shock. The problem generally with changing shocks between bikes is the linkages are so different, that spring rates and valving tend to be way off.
Is it worth it? Yes. Can you make it worse than it is? Yes. |
I've been over this a million times. The 636 shock is pretty close to stock. It's a tenny bit longer and a bit stiffer. SVRider contains a wealth of knowledge and one of the instructors at the Lee Parks school has the same year and model of SV as me. The 636 (ZX6) shock is a direct swap. You must trrim or shim the battery box but it's bolt in and raises ride height a couple of MM, I'm pretty shure the stiffness is close to what race tech would recommend in a new rear spring for me. There's lots and lots of happy riders out there with the 636 out back.
I'll check motoworx.
