On my '97 Kawasaki ZX-11, old installation.
Any opinions about that? I've never messed with suspension stuff. It's got a "remote reservoir"(?) under the seat, where the damping is controlled. I heard something about 175psi of nitrogen needed. I might have access to some nitrogen bottles at work, where I could do that, but otherwise that's beyond me.
Idk if the factory setup was similar, with the separate reservoir or not. Just going back with a factory shock (used?) could be an option too, but the front forks are also Race Tech, and Idk if mixing parts like that is a good idea.
I'm so ignorant about suspension issues that I might not have noticed or known about an issue, but PO(s) (father and son) told me they thought it needs to be rebuilt. I have noticed it's a little wonky in curves when the pavement isn't smooth. And it's the roughest riding bike I've ever had. (I REALLY need to check the tire pressure; it's beyond foolish that I haven't done that yet...).
Anyway, thanks for thoughts. I haven't tried to contact Race Tech yet, to see what the options are as far as rebuild.
