Dr650 Shock Rebuilding and Forks Springs Fork Kits

1)

You can simply rebuild the 43mm conventional forks with heavier springs, fresh fluid, seals and bushings to be a simple as it gets, rebuild the shock with fresh fluid, nitrogen, bumper or bladder, even a mild revalve for about $595.00 to $748.00 or so depending on rider weight and conditions.

 

You can add a heavier rear spring for your weight or loading if using the bike as a pack mule.  images

 

 

 

Some add Widgets / Emulators/ or Pistons to stock suspension redo’s  that add to the price.

We sell an Elka Shock that’s very popular and great features for the price!

 

For some a Hydraulic remote spring preloader can be an option to above shock shown.

 

When the right hand man Sebastian at Elka owned a DR650 for years, he made sure a great shock was produced!

 

The above shock features both Hi/Lo Compression adjustable, Rebound Adjustable, a very heavy duty 46mm body and 16mm shaft with a floating nitrogen piston within the reservoir instead of cheaper bladder style designs, with threaded spring preload.

 

Elka shocks can be easily serviced and rebuilt and are made to last a very long time, many would out live the bike if kept clean and occasionally serviced.

The Standard shock spring  (White Spring) claimed  rate of 6.5 kg/mm.

 

There are many rates in aftermarket springs depending on your weight and loading.

 

You can use an Ohlins springs,  yellow in color for this shock in many optional rates but a new shock with real features is the way to go because the standard shock is basic at best.

FORK options for the KYB 43mm conventional forks can update a Damper Rod and Oil fork with a cartridge emulator #FEGV4301 series. Reminder once you do these you run thinner suspension fluid in the forks because they are more of a cartridge closed system rather than a damper rod with a few holes that needs heavier weight fluids.

 

The emulators  are some what adjustable by removal and turning allen key on pressure spring and optional strength  pressure springs are available.

 

They do come with instructions, often times a new fork spring is better than the soft stock rate of .40kg/mm.

 

You can use #FRSP3755   36.5mm x 550mm rates of .60/.65/.70./75/.80 kg/mm.
