FZRSupport: the FZROnline Archive

I need to do this next week for my trackday....

i got a spring compressor...but are there any tricks once i compress it to get it apart to put a new spring on?????

ill take some pix for a how to but any intel/recon from one of you who's done it before.....would be great

ill be gone all weekend so ill check Sun evening.....

So are you doing a FZ1 shock or a R6 shock? Im assuming since your referencing a spring compressor your doing a FZ1 shock with the FZR spring? There shouldnt be anything special once you get the spring compressed, just be careful doing it, those things still make me nervouse even though Ive used them for years.

This sounds intresting. What benifits does this swap have? also how about a parts list?

Stiffer ride. The stock FZR shock is too soft.

Plus, I do believe the FZ1 brings with it compression/dampening controls.

I have what appears to be the spring off a stock Fox TC shock. We're going to pair that up on his FZ1 shock and see how that works for him.

yup.

also, the one year of r6 shock appears to be (from the pix I've seen) to be identical to my FZ1 shock, I think its an 03, I bought it a few months ago so.....

I've researched but can't find exact years for the FZ1 or r6 rear shock conversion. Anyone have the exact years so I can go crazy on E-bay!

the r6 shock is the 2006 I beleive

I thikn its 02-05 for the FZ1

i'll dig in my email tomorrow to try and find out what i bought

06-08 R6 shock is best with little work to do.

Thanks!!!
