interchangable rear shocks

[gmeddy]

I have read a couple of times in other places that an SV650 Rear Shock is a good upgrade for the ZZR250.
Anyone know of this?
Any other good match-ups accross models worth metioning, these sorts of lists are always usefull.

all the 250cc kwakas are classed as EX250s
from my knowledge most EX250 parts are interchangeable.
when my girlfriend had a gpx250 , i fit an EX500 rear shock in. it was a straight bolt in.
also check out this website http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/Main_Page
it has everything worth doing to an EX250 and how to do it.

sounds good.
i'll have a look

SV650 is a Suzuki tho... not an EX...

[98ninja]

yes
you have a zzr250
aka an EX250. i didnt say anything about sv650s

[gmeddy]

yes but i did. i originally asked if anyone knew if the SV650 shock was a good match for the EX250.
Then i said "any other good match-ups accross models" but should have said Makes, not Models.

If an SV650 shock is such a good thing, why do a lot of sv650 owners fit 06/07 zx10r rear shocks to race 'twin sprints' .....

good point, they must be rubbish. thanks for answering my initial question. I'm glad i didn't pay $40 for a new SV650 shock when it would probably have been worse than whats in my bike already.
