    So, after some time, i was here to share with all of you, the procedure with pics swapping the OEM shock with
     
    the zx6r 08 from showa.
     
    Well i' ll start from disassembly the shock, even though I was thinking of going to someone specialist,
    i deside to do it alone.
    So i find something living in the shaft that i think you don't find them often. A spring behind the seal head!!!

    Took off to inspect and clean the high and low speed dumping knobs

    Found some wear @ the rubber lives in the nitrogen tank, but can be reusable. It just does not have a polished surface.

    This happen due to the sharp surface inside the tank.
    I' m thinking to make the surface smoother by rubbing it with sandpaper.

    I found in the garage a bottle of Torco fork oil, I had used about a year ago.
    What's left is enough for the shock but I think it's heavy for the "showa' s stomach".

    So i deside to byu and use a 10 or 7 grade not 15 i all ready have.
     
    Sorry for my language...
    I'll be bask soon with news!!! 
     
      

    Hi

thank you
