`00 XT600E Shockies
 

I`m about 98kgs and think the shocks on the `00 model are built for the 50 to 60kgs Japs that build these bike. Just wondering if anyone has replaced there shocks to make the extra weight of a man and his gear more user friendly??

Basically, if you see that bike has too much sag for your weight, it's enough replace spring only with a stiffer one.

If you want to replace the whole shock, best choice is to find used ohlins.

shocking!
 

Hey, Boofhead! I run Hyperpro shocks front and back: even when fully loaded(myself 95kg, luggage and panniers) much better handling, no diving frontfork! Worth every penny, this investment. Greetz, Hans.

Hi dallas... how much did all those shocks cost you each?

Thanks for the reply`s good options from both i`ll look into then. How good is this site .. never heard of you guys till my friend desided to go State site. Thanks for the introduction BIG FOOT>>:mchappy:

Front springs(progressive) about 135 euros(including oil), back(only spring, original damper) about 100euros. Greetz, Hans.
