Rear Shock/Spring

Nbot · Post by **Nbot** » Tue Aug 17, 2004 11:24 pm

Allright, since I just learned a whole bunch about shock's valves setup etc and spring ratings for my dirt bike, where are some cool links for the fizzer? If you're bored or got some good ones, otherwise I'll look around. I'm sure that my rear shock hasn't been touched for years and probably needs a service/oil change. Does it use nitrous? maybe a recharge? Sorry if this has already been posted before. And sorry that I'm posting w/o even reading my haynes. But I just loooove typing!! Nbot '94 Fizzer Litre

The rear shock can be serviced by a specialist company, contrary to what it states in the manual, mine started leaking after about 12,000 miles and people say that they are usually due for changing at about that mileage. So I went for OHLINS and have never looked back. The shock is serviced with oil and NITROGEN not NITROUS which I think you might find rather explosive. chris

lol...nice one Tim, just make sure there's no grease on it when you pack it back up again to send to me<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"> Spot on creed regardless to whether it states it's a sealed unit or not, I haven't seen a shock yet that couldn't be serviced (cheap twin shock replacements for AG bikes excluded for economic reasons). Mine is still ok, I was just lucky enough to stumble upon a brand new WP for next to nothing. Cheers John <img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/ ... Cheers.gif ALT=":cheers"> Clint.

Mint clint, You lucky son of a pea shooter, I had to pay full price for the comfort of a new shock. BTW - I think you need to upgrade the head lights on your avatar. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)">

hahhahhahh...isn't code talk fun?? Yeah, Mint, looks like you need the wiring relay and xenon bulbs too! Oh, and Creed, I suppose you're right about the nitrous stuff....I was talking to the guy that's rebuilding my enduro shock and he says that shocks are supposed to be looked at/oil changed?/every year or at least every 2! But maybe that's just for dirt bikes b/c they get so much work........he also does for gixxer shocks, maybe I'll talk to him about fizzer's...he's doing mine for like $100 cheaper than any shop....but he's got the nitrogen set-up, shock tools, lathe to make seal drivers, and experience.

I believe that the fzr shock is welded together. A lot of the stock cheapies look that way. Has someone ever had an FZR shock rebuilt? <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/alien.gif ALT="0]">

i'll consider selling my rear shock (for the right price) if anyone is interested. 1994 yzf750-r unit. freshly (like 2 weeks ago) rebuilt with new oil, new seals, new braided steel reservoir line, and all new valving. done by a pro suspension shop. set-up for a 175/180/185 pound rider for aggressive sport/casual track riding. i am definitely selling if i can find anyone that can get wp units.

Yeah, I hear you. Clint got a hell of a deal on his WP. Tim <hr /><img src="http://img69.photobucket.com/albums/v20 ...   Has anyone seen my keys? Dir. of Entertainment<a href="http://eddieandthecruisersmc.com" target="top"> Eddie & the Cruisers</a> '94 FZR 1000

Yep, the FZR unit is welded together like a lot of std shocks on bikes these days. I haven't had an FZR one done before, but have sent numerous BMW and Honda sealed units to a specialist to be rebuilt. They come back like new.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"> Clint. '87 FZR1000T gen·e·sis (jen-i-sis)n. pl.:The coming into being of something; the origin.
