How does the upper rear shock mount?

In the states, this was the upgrade to the FZR600. In other places, this is called an FZR. Either way, many of the components of the US YZF600r fit onto the US FZR600.

How does the upper rear shock mount?

Post by yttaf »

I just bought a 95 yzf600 & I noticed the upper rear shock is broke. Does anyone have a picture of how this mounts? I know there is supposed to be an horizontal tube on top of the shock that a bolt goes into but don't see how it mounts to the frame?

Hi,
I must admit I am getting TIRED of asking newbies to put their location in their profile, it is NOT because I am nosey but the FACT that bikes vary according to where in the world they where sent to be sold. A YZF '95 came in at least 3 different configurations that I am aware of...........

So be nice and give us a clue OK, then you may actually gain the information you seek !

Ok George My location should be there! & thanks I just wasn't looking in the right spot! The top mount for my rear shock broke off & was still in the mount! Welded it back together & will be good for the moment!

Y,
well that is a result, I would now be looking for a reason as to why it failed in the first place.

My thinking would be rust made the material weak and one pot hole to many, or that shock has seized / too long for the bike and is causing too much force to the frame OR the PO was lard tail and broke it !

All of which I would look at before riding the bike "enthusiastically" in case the rail broke again.
