I know these are very similar to other bikes of the same years. Can I attain a decent result by playing with the stack? Recommendations? Currently have .95 springs so I need more rebound and less compression I think.
Honda did put their 4 port HMAS stuff in a lot of bikes. if the stock compression stack is anything like my 04' RR was, itll be really really really soft. i went 10x stiffer on the stack and prob could have gone farther.
I raced one in 01-02 with Racetech front. Forks flush in triples. If memorys right 316mm eye to eye on shock with 5mm spacer on top mount. Good bike but no ground clearance.
it all depends on what you are looking for, you might get gold valving, that will give you more than ample settings to play with. I changed my springs on my CBR 600RR 05 and I also have to change the valving, my stock valving won't work. hope that helps....changing the stack on stock valving may not really help you
Vortex had the highest rearsets back then. I cut down the shifter, brake pedal and pegs. Alot of good times on that bike.
Good idea. Gonna slash cut whatever I can. As far as extending the forks, do I really need to go that far? Wouldn't I have to jack up the rear even more? Was gonna try running them flush with airbox removed/clip-ons under.
I had the Penske double shock extended to the max recommended length and the washer on the top mount was as thick as I could use and still get a full nut of thread engagement. After using these settings and cutting down the pegs and pedals I never had any more issues and the bike turned great. Got third on it at NSS WERA national behind Matt Lynn and Larry Delaney.
