Hi ya. I'm new to the forum and the zxr. I rode the bike for the first time on Saturday. I love the handling and chuck-a-bility compared to my aprilia mille. However I did notice that the rear shock was very harsh over the bumps and chucked me out of the seat a couple of times on our bumpy roads. The shock is the only thing that will knock my confidence in the corners.

I have read about people putting shocks from other bikes in place of the standard one. I don't really want to go down that route so was wondering if anyone had any experience of the basic nitron shock which can be had for just under £400 quid on eBay.

Hi Tinman,

Welcome to the forum I have no experience of the basic Nitron shock but have just fitted the nitron ntr track shock 2way to my zxr.

Its by far 1 of the best mods I have done to my bike a bit expensive but the rear end is a lot more forgiving now and the zxr handles sweet now.

A lot of peeps run the Ohlins shock they pop up second hand from time to time for about 300-400.

Did your shock just bolt straight in with no modifications? How much did that set you back?if you don't mind me asking.

Yeah bolts straight in just need to mount the remote reservoir canister cost about £540 posted this was set to my weight and riding style etc.
