Title: Hyperpro progressive springs
Post by: Redd on October 18, 2019, 07:36:23 AM
Most suspension oil is getting tired after 10,000 miles and would benefit from being changed. I have fitted Hyperpro progressive springs to many large Kawasaki and at the same time changed the front fork oil, rear shock oil and re-gassed the rear with nitrogen, the combination of which has transformed the bikes handling. Many go for a new rear shock on bikes but I find an overhaul of the existing rear shocks just as effective and doing it yourself works out at a fraction of the cost.

Has anyone tried the Hyperpro springs on their GTR?   My GTR has low mileage and is the later edition with the stiffer rear spring, so I will leave it as standard for now until I have had the chance to rack up some miles.

I just wondered what others have done to their GTR in the suspension department, especially the high mileage boys?

Lots of discussion has taken place on here regarding Hyperpro and  other aftermarket options for  many years

To save asking the same question again, if you check the Aftermarket Accessory list or use search facility it will help with your enquiry

Don't think I'm being picky, but there is already a wealth of great information on this forum which can easily be overlooked  :clap:

perhaps you can post a link to the informative information mentioned, I did a search and it does not reveal much detail.  :ninja:

Looks to me that most need to move to the Versys or a BMW forum  :mfr_lol:
