GT200Fan79 is being a little obtuse, perhaps considering this some kind of test, but some googling shows that his damper rods are right proper weird like. This the the top:

And the whole assembly:

I wouldn't bother if it was like that. Can't a later front end be slapped on instead? Or, y'know, just leave it alone?
Also you set the rebound through choice of oil, thicker oil means slower rebound. Racetech love to suggest that the emulators are not affected by oil thickness but of course they are.. On a road bike this is fine though as you want a plush, springy ride anyway so 10w oil is fine. ____________________ 1994 CB250, 1984 CBX250RS-E, 1989 K100RS, 1995 TRX850, 2016 Z250SL |

I fitted RaceTech emulators to my FZR-R back in the early 1980s as the front end was not easily tuneable after fitting an Ohlins shock absorber.I had attempted to find a way of modifying the forks by fitting some Progressive Suspension fork springs,but they were not what I was looking for.So,together with some straight rate Ohlins fork springs,the Emulators were easy to fit and to tune.There was no need to modify the size of the rebound hole as the installation instructions specified that this was set by the selection of weight of fork oil.

More recently I rebuilt the forks with new stanchions and used 12.5w oil instead of 10 or 15 by mixing a bottle of each and reduced the air-gap by 10mm to see how the front would behave.

Now the fork is held much higher in the stroke and I have lowered the forks by 10mm in the yokes.The preload adjusters have been backed off a few turns,which on the FZR-R is possible due to a modification I did years ago so that I can adjust while on the move. ____________________ Just talk bikes.What else is there?

Why would it be a test, i'm just stating my forks require more engineering than others.
I don't want to change the appearance of the bike or end up saddled with a disc brake, i could stick an R6 front end on for 300 quid but if i'm going down that route i should of bought a TZ in the first place. Also the vast increase in horsepower and ground clearance plus my rapidly increasing riding skills mean suspension will become an issue sooner rather than later. ____________________ Be a REAL MAN! |
