IMPROVED Z900 A4 REAR SHOCKS REQD

#1 PostAuthor: Grantiii » Sat Aug 20, 2022 6:32 pm

Firstly.... answers very much appreciated .. Thankyou
I'm booked in to Piston Rally in N Spain next month.
Thought I'd best get a few miles on my recently aquired mint & std Z900 first.
Just done 15 miles or so & found the rear suspension very harsh, it hurt base of my back !
I'm sure a few have fitted aftermarket springs/shocks .. which ones give the best ride ?
Anybody tried adjustable ones ? Koni .. Ikon or others ?
Thanks in Advance ... Ian

Mate recently changed from ohlins to hagon for the same reason. He's very happy with the hagon. If you phone them in Essex with your bike/weight etc they will set them up for you before sending them out.
