Shock settings
« on: January 06, 2007, 06:57:55 PM »
Hi guy I've done a forum search but I couldn't find what I was looking for.
I'm about to fit a GSXR400 shock (GK76a I think) to my little B4 and I was wondering if anyone had any base settings for the shock me to work from?
Much appreciated

As it turns out the settings on the shock are completely irrelevant. I fitted the shock and I've turned my B4 into a clown bike! The shock has absolutley no damping left and now the back end is like a giant bouncy ball... arse.
Anyone know if a GK76a shock is rebuildable?

Bummer fluid and stuff is always replaceable if you look were the seal is by the shaft there has to be a break in it so that they can unscrew the seal holder! if you can fisically see where a seal would come out then it should be rebuild able usually here in the states its like 150+ for a rebuild
