hello to all...
im from Portugal so my english isn.t so good :kuda: :kuda:

well...
i am building an zx7r (1997 p2) for trackdays but i have some questions about suspension set..

my bike is full stock on suspension but now for the rear end i have this:

WP 4618 rear shock for ninja zx10 (2006/2007) with 90-150 spring (maybe is crap for this bike cause i just have 70kg and the bike maybe is 190kg wet as i saved some weight)

but as you all know this shock as less 12mm than stock!!!

i think im gonna compensate this with a 12mm spacer here:

what do you think?

some shock size chart

Kawasaki ZX10 1988-1989 314,5 mm
Kawasaki ZX10R 2004-2005 338mm
Kawasaki ZX12R 2000-2005 338mm
Kawasaki ZX6R 2003-2004 340mm
Kawasaki ZX6R 2005-on 335,5mm
Kawasaki ZX6RR 2003-2004 340mm
Kawasaki ZX6RR 2005-2006 330mm
Kawasaki ZX7R 1996-2001 350mm
Kawasaki ZX9R 1994-1997 348 mm
Kawasaki ZX9R 1998-1999 330mm
Kawasaki ZX9R 2000-2001 338 mm
