New Hyperpro shock. Anyone?

Brian · Admin

I don't know anyone that has bought one to try.

It's a very expensive option. It would probably be cheaper and more effective to have your existing shock and forks rebuilt to suit you as Grassroots did - see http://wr250r-x-euro.activeboard.com/t61227303/go-race-suspension/

Hi ya Tomasn,

Guys have been talking about this hyperpro shock a lot on this American site. You will find the information somewhere in the very last 100 pages of the thread. Be sure to go to the end of the thread as there are nearly 3000 pages of chatting.....

If i were you, i would find a suspension specialist either in Lithuania, or if you can afford it America, to just revalve and rebuild the shock and forks you already have.

Good luck to you and keep us posted as to what you decide to do.

Paul.

So i decided to order parts from Travis Go-Race and rebuild suspension here in Lithuania. With mine 88 kg (fully geared), i'll stay with OEM spring, but if i need higher rate springs, anyone knows where to order them here in Europe?

....I'm sure that there are many places all over Europe that could supply you with a new spring Tomasn. I don't have any specific retailers that i could recommend as such, but i think at 88 kg, you should be more than good to use the OEM spring smile .

First ride out this year and first ride out with a Go Race suspension mods. Also installed SKF fork seals. First impression was that suspension, especially forks are very plush. Maybe need stiffer fork springs and add oil. Rear is OK. For trail riding mods are amazing, for an aggressive riding - on the softer side.

Good to see you out enjoying the start of the season, especially having improved the suspension a little.

Did Travis do the work for you or did he send the parts for you to do it yourself?

Check the oil level and wt, should make all the difference to the forks Then play with the clickers a little to set it up just right for your style.

Enjoy the sunshine bud.

He send me all parts and I installed parts here. Used recommended oil and oil level. I think, need to find stiffer forks springs to buy to reduce diving.

You obviously ride her hard Tomasn biggrin

I only weigh 70kgs myself and so i find the fork springs to be just enough for me.

Hope you get it dialed in nicely by the summer time pal.

my extra 13 kg can make a difference in fork characteristics. But you are right, i need ride it harder, front wheel must be under the ground :)
