Hawk - Rear Shock
 

Does anyone know of a heavy duty replacement shock with preload adjustment? The stock one is pretty weak

the RX3 shock is being used on the TT250 i believe.

measure the length eye to eye/fork...
then head for e-bay.....



..

Please do reply back with your measurements and findings.

Stock NXR Bros (& copies) = up Ø10 low Ø10

Once you find one with the correct length, mount style & size, and travel you'll have to figure out spring and damping rates. If the stock shock can be drained and filled you could just play with oil weight.

Change spring :wtf:

I assumed he's after stiffer damping since he's asking about a heavy duty shock, he also mentions preload adjustment so maybe he's after a stiffer spring...or maybe both...or maybe he doesn't know what he needs to achieve the feel he's after.

That's neat. It would be even better if I could read it.

Yes, I'm looking for a stiffer spring. Any weight and this thing bottoms out

This is the first I've seen posted about the spring being too soft; unless it's a common problem, or you're heavier than the average rider, maybe you just got a defective one and a stock replacement could fix it. The one human being posted has an adjuster, if yours is the same size you could get one of those. Adjusting isn't the right way to fix a spring being too soft, but it at least it can keep you from bottoming out.

I changed out the f/r springs in my main KLR and it made a 'huge' difference (I am heavy) but having some additional dampening wouldn't hurt also. that can be done by rebuiding the shock and using different valving and oil but it's a looong way from easy for the typical rider and probably a waste of money. you should be able to find an inexpensive replacement from another hawk like chinese supplier. I've seen em in the orient carrying a family of four on their bikes, someone HAS to be making what you want. hell the rear on my 200 Zong is so stiff it jars my teeth:)

Maybe similar syrnome as http://www.chinariders.net/showpost....5&postcount=90 (No oil ...bad seal) btw. Beta Alp 200 copy (Loncin, Kinlon...) = http://www.cnabsorber.cn/products_de...uctId=137.html | Honda KRH (NXR bros "KRE" is quite similar)http://www.cnabsorber.cn/products_de...uctId=396.html

I might have found a shock that could work, but I can't figure out how to get the Chuannan Shock Absorber site to tell me the weight of the spring, the eye-to-eye length of the shock, or the size of the mounting holes. The shock number is XY 211.

Im looking to lower the rear suspension by one inch, i just hate the way it keeps you up againt the tank, too high in the rear, and i cant slide back when i need to shift my weight to the rear.

i think it looks stupid soo high in the rear anyway,.

I will likely add a second shock mount lower on the swing arm.. also closer to the fulcrum so likely to make the suspension softer by increasing the leverage on the shock. ill need an adjustable shock..

has anyone identified a good or great replacement?

or the stats on the stock shock to help with shopping for one.
