Hi everyone,
So have a query with the suspension on my RZ500, the rear shock needs replacing and although the front forks have recently been serviced, they dont give any confidence. So just wondering if there are any companies that can change all the internals of the forks or rework them so they feel slightly more modern? I want to keep the bike looking standard, so don't really want to change to USD forks. Are there any recomendations about the rear shock?

Maxton!
They re-valved and re-sprung my RGV forks and built a rear shock from scratch to suit my weight/riding style and my LC hybrid. Not the cheapest, but some of the best money spent!

They now have 20mm cartridge kits so cam make old forks fully adjustable

Maxton did my RG forks fitted sd 20 cartridges it removes the anti dive it is blanked off but the actuator remains so looks standard

I found Racetech fork springs and emulators to be an excellent upgrade combined with a Nitron Classic shock on the rear. Cheers Paul |

Lots of discussion about upgrades on the 500 side of the RZRD500 forum, from cheap to exy etc. Some swear by blanking the antidive and a set of wirth springs and others will say you need a suspension company to sort it. depends on what you want to spend... as always  |

Yep another for Maxton, did my forks, drilled out damper rods, blanked off anti-dive units and new springs with 10w oil.
They also do cartridges but more dosh,
Fit an Ohlins at the back if you can afford it, transforms bike
