Elevation

Post by Damon Z1000 »

Hi guys,

Well we (MadKaw and me) actually got around to the ZX10R rear shock transplant into the ZED :twisted:

This is what we took out and put in.......
Zed shock a full 1kg heavier than 10

The 10 shock was just a little tight, about 1.5mm each side on the lower linkage so out came the grinder :shock:

So after balancing the bugger on the footpegs on axle stands removing all the old shit, doglegs as well, we set about putting new stuff back in. A little swearing and beers later all went in.
Couple of problems though the height ajustment has set the chain path a little too close to the zorst link pipe so I'm gonna run it to my exhaust mate and get the bugger slightly adjusted to create clearance. I think we may have just put a drop to much oil into the front shock, we added 40mm and I think 30mm would have been more the go. Oh and the side stand is now a little short, needs extending or a block of wood kept in my pocket ;) These lift kits are great except for the stuff you encounter when you fit em :D :D :D Gonna run it for a while and see if things settle down before adjusting.
After a quick run around the block the difference is phenominal, much firmer, better feel and the front feels planted and solid. Unlike that pogo stick arm chair it was before.
Big thanks to Dave for having a spare shock and giving his time to get it in. The front fork tweek may catch on mate ;)
Should be plenty of clearance for the track now, feels more like a motard than a naked now :shock:

Check it out.......
Too much lean on the stand!
