Rear shock up grade on the NSR 250

**Sun Nov 27, 2011 4:29 am » Post: #1 » Download Post**

I've read a few posts on here about shocks but nothough though.
Is there a good shock that someone has fitted that works better than the stock one?
Will a RS 250 or Aprilia shock fit, what about the RGV?
Just looking for something that I can put on there that will be a better shock.
Ideas or advice please.
Tank..

Mod edit: punctuation, spelling, grammar, formatting, capitalization etc. I have no idea what "but nothough though" is supposed to say, FY

Try again after some sleep, or after less alcohol!

RGV & RS have the forked type of lower mounting so won't do.

RS125 Honda & CBR600 fits well!

You have to remember that the RS125 shock with the piggyback reservoir won't fit under the standard seat unit without modification.
I think somebody said they got a RS125 shock with a remote reservoir which fitted under the standard seat.
Also, the RS125 shock mountings need to be modified to fit in the NSR.

Is it MC18 or 21? Two different shocks, makes a difference when asking for advice

here's my quest (still looking for MC18 SP shock)

http://www.nsr250.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11032

and in that thread there is a link to another one.

Also I have made the HRC plates for MC18 if anyone cares, made 6 sets

When you say F3 are you talking about a CBR F3 ?

I know Ohlins makes a spring, but am not aware of a complete shock assembly

pdf catalog link below, page 21 part number HO206

http://www.ohlinsusa.com/us/catalog/Reclist2010_07506-10_1.pdf

you can use that as cross reference chart to see what length and spring rate other Honda's have, for example Hornet600 uses same type shock and only 1mm longer

You can order one with the spring that you require.

Please switch off the bore-stoke side of your brain when you're on NSR-WORLD! Laughing

F3 means Formula 3, F-III, or TT-F3. 250 2T's and 400 4T's, tuned to within an inch of their lives, and pretty much the pinnicle of small capacity development.

The original F3 specs may be improved upon slightly now, with the use of adjustable ignitions, but not by much, and we've yet to see anyone prove different.
