Hi Guys,
Just got myself an FZ 8 N 2012. My old boy has an FZ1 09 model that he has done many mods to which means plenty of stock spares for me if needed.
My questions is after hours of research and no luck in answering my question, my question is........... Is it worth swapping the standard rear shcok on my FZ 8 for his older 09 FZ 1 rear shock.
The FZ 8 i have has the spring preload and rebound damping adjustments the same as the FZ 1 09's standard shock. I weigh approx 75KG or 165 pounds.
I just want to know what the better shock is. The FZ 8 has had 3,000km of use and the FZ 1 approx 15,000km before it was replaced.
It will be a swap or nothing else, as funds are tight right now. I have my first track day coming up back end of november 14 and wanna have time to play with the settings for a very bumpy track prior to attending.
Any advice or help is very much appreciated.
