Front end refresh zx9r

Post by MLR193 »

So yesterday me and my dad decided to fit my maxton .95 springs and new oil which is the putoline factory racing 10! It's clear which was a shock.

After stripping the forks and cleaning everything, it was nice to see the oil inside was black....so well abused!

After cleaning all the parts all adjusters where working well and was nice to find out that every click of rebound use 0.2 mm of movement on the adjuster.

Anyway everything went smoothly and even without riding what a difference it was has made, it doesn't bounce as though just on springs we have damping again and so plush and smooth! Will transform the bike! Well chuffed!

Thanks Matty

I'm sure it will make everything feel much more smoother and nicer to use. Hope you get a out and use her soon to test out the new springs
