Penske rear shock help

Blimey · Post by **Blimey** » Mar 26th, '07, 19:42

Anyone familiar with these. Its one of those pressurized adjustable things with a gas thingy attachted to it and a valve adjuster.

Thats about the thick of it i know. Oh its a rear one.

Got one fitted to my 96 CBR 600 trackbike and ain't got a clue about setting it up and what the adjustments do or where they should be set at.

Want to have a go myself rather then pay a garage to do it but need some help explaining routhly where the settings should be set at, as a genearal overall starting position and where to go from there please.

It looks like this if any help

Steve has offered but where and when do you learn to be able to do these things yourself??

Will prob get him to do it anyhow but running out of money.

Will have to run last years tyres on it at Llandow as it is

Thanks for link Baz

Cheers Moosey. Will dig my teeth into all that but already its helping with what little i have read already. I get bored quickly so need to do it in drips and drabs.

Yeah i did see you and i waved as you passed, also saw you last week i think it was as i was on way to the sports centre to watch my daughter trampolining, Wednesday.

Webber ain't got a clue about the front end, Looks completely standard to me and don't know if springs have been uprated or not or what ever has been done to them.

Your not going to Llandow are ??

no mate im at cadders, but i can come down to you before your track day and go through it with you and get the bike setup for your weight etc. just let me know when you can do it providing it aint on a race weekend.

That would be great mate. Just going to be a pain trying to get it to Steves and back. Need to buy a trailer

Hopefully arrange something "May" time. Bring the Mrs too and stay for dinner.

Will get back to you in a couple of weeks when its hopefully together again. Will pay of course

Cheers mate
