what does anyone think about the hyperpro springs available at American Sport Bike? and what about the combination of those springs and the revalve kit. Is it worth doing even if I am not going to fork over 1000 bucks for a penske or WP rear shock? | ||

I would suggest it's worth it, even without shock. I've replaced the fork springs on 3 of my previous motorcycles (2 Yamahas, 1 Honda) with Progressive Suspension springs. In every case the improvement was immediately noticeable, and easily 'worth it'. Now, I'm just about to replace my Cyclone's with Race Tech springs (non-progressive) but so far I can't figure out the spacer length. I also have the Gold Valve thingie, but it's also more daunting in the hand that in the advertisement. So, no experience yet on my Cyclone, except that its not a 'drop in' like my previous 3 were.

did you just replace the springs or did you also revalve the forks? | ||

I'm getting ready to rebuild my fork and will be installing the racetech .95 kg/mm springs along with a heavier weight oil. I was originally going do the gold valving too, but funds won't allow that now. Anybody have experience with the revalve kit? | ||

I put Hyperpro springs in the S3 forks I put on my M2, I ended up putting shorter spacers in ( about 10mm shorter I think) as they were very stiff and not very supple in the initial travel, as the springs are about an inch longer than stock. Now I've got about 15mm travel left after heavy braking ect. They feel a lot better than the stock ones not as mushy, they come with 10w oil. I haven't changed the valves tho, as they feel pretty good as is. |
