Hi TripleTreat,
I havent doen that yet but I intend to in the future.
I have already spoken to motorcycle suspension specialist in Brisbane here who has upgraded many Sprints.
His recommendation was a heavier single rate spring in my case a 1.0 (I weigh 100kilos neked) with valve thingos fitted.
You can rebuild the stock rear shock, here it would cost me around $650.00 AUD to have him do the work.
He recommended though an after market rear shock would provide a bigger performance improvement.
These vary in price with an Ohlins being very dear at from memory about $1800.00 installed down to about $1300.00 for a good after market shock of lesser quality like a Hagon or Penske, I can't remember what is the cheaper one.
If you rebuild the rear stock shock it will be fine but not offer as great a difference as a better shocker will, but it would be a vast improvement over your nackered OE item.
How about letting us know what you do and how you like the results?
Cheers,
DaveM
