Hi, does someone knows, or did swapped rear shock-suspension on xf650 with some other rear suspension from some other motorcycle?
Im asking because I have rear suspension on hard setting, but its still too soft. In front forks I have progressive springs and more thick fork oil and now the rear is way too soft its swinging in corners...

Kind regards

Hm wilbers is good, but its very expencive :) My friend swapped rear suspension on sv650s 03model with kawasaki z1000 oem rear suspension and the difference in driving was huge...
I thought if someone used oem suspension from some other bike, and replaced it with stock xf suspension...

Another cheap way is to use the spring from a Honda 900 Hornet.
It is a harder spring and it works good.
I used it in my sons Freewind.

Try to get one in ebay.

In my Freewind, I used a wilbers from a Yamaha FZR 1000. But you need some selfmade bushings.

This is a very little longer and works perfect.
Its easier to find one from the FZR1000 than an used one for the Freewind. And it is complete adjustable.
