Shocky Lengths

Post by Scorps »

Howdy Y'all,

Nice easy question for today - What are the stock shock lengths for:
1) KT250
2) RL250

And based on past experience, what are the best length shockies for these 2 bikes?

Cheers,
Your friendly neighbourhood Scorpa(Kawi)man,

The KT you rode at Brooweena had 340mm Falcon shocks, because I only have one set of 360mm Falcon shocks and they were on the OSSA. The KT steering is definitely better with the 360mm shocks than the 340mm.

I just got a price direct from Falcon UK for a pair of 340mm steel at 98 uk pounds + 50 pounds postage (90kg rider)and 240 quid for the alloy for my KT but after David's comment I will go for the 360mm
