Thanks, The rear shocks on this bikes have not changed much. They changed internal more than any thing I think. The shock worked great until the last couple of rides. The fluid may be shot.
kxcam22,
I am going to order the correct springs for my weight front and rear. I have .46 up front. .46 was the heaviest spring race tech made for an 87 but 89 500 goes up .50. Same goes for the rear shock. My question is what should I see for results from my bike's ride or performance? Race Tech's web site has auto spring rate guide just put in your weight and riding style and tells you what spring you need. Should I follow that info regarding spring rates?
Race Tech says I should use a 6.18kg and they offer a 6.0kg and 6.4kg rear spring and they say I should use a .51kg front fork and they offer a .50kg. What do ya'll think.
