donkason Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 good vid.. the talk about the suspension working in that 'sweet spot' reminds me even more on why I need to get my fork oil changed after 21k miles and the rear shock taken care of Sweet video, thanks. I've made it through about half so far. I'm swapping my fluid and springs this month. Which made me wonder is a stock rear shock serviceable?

donkason Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Yes they are.Do tell. My manual says the shock is not serviceable, but people get creative and find ways. I have 4000 miles on my track bike with 1k being track time. Also is this a DIY for a good wrench or drop off to a pro?

blue03636 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Pro, it has to be pressurized. I have had stockers redone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentracer Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 yup had mine done on my R6. you can buy the nitrogen charge kit and do it yourself too. motion pro makes it.http://www.motionpro.com/motorcycle/partno/08-0072/ but it's cheaper to let someone do it.

donkason Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I just emailed 35. There was another thread that mentioned them. Their prices are great. $100 to do a full shock service:thumbup:What's the revalving thing I see in their prices? I'm assuming the stock suspension, with the right spring rate and dialed in, could get one into the advanced group, correct? I always like to study ahead so when the time comes I'm educated.I'll be doing fork service twice a season but how often should the rear be serviced on a track bike? I finished the video last night and they had a whole section about quick tip ins. :beer:Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, to answer your question, we have PLENTY examples of stock machines with even under suspended bikes that are running in the top tier of lap times in the "A" group. Nothing exceptional in getting a stocker into "A"...That being said, one thing Reuben can POSSIBLY do is make some valving changes on your stock shock. The issue is that money will get you close to buying a used Penske online at WERA or similar. On a GSXR like you have, you should find them between $500-$750 depending on condition. That would be a triple clicker and not the double that is also fine, but would be cheaper...Check out Reuben and get the shock and really, your forks - all serviced and ready to go. You'll be amazed at the difference the right (quality) oil makes and the fact that most guys have close to no nitro left in their shocks...

He's a good man--Can't wait to get all my suspension stuff done.. 22k miles on my bike and I'm sure my fork oil is going to look like freakin swamp ass..Pretty stoked to see how it all feels on sunday!
