In this video, I show you how to replace your Kawasaki KLR rear shock spring. The spring I chose to use is a Top Gun rear shock spring for Kawasaki KLR 650 for years 1987-2018. Changing this rear shock spring is one of the first upgrades you should do your KLR as it's very soft and was not designed to carry extra weight or luggage. Changing only the spring instead of the entire rear shock is the most economical way to go.

The Top Gun Rear shock springs are heavier and allow for added weight from a passenger or luggage and are made with the highest quality materials for accuracy and consistency. A properly sized (weighted) spring can put you at the correct ride height for adequate suspension travel.

I have a 2022 KLR 650 and a new spring - this video will be very helpful, and I can’t wait to get my new spring in. Thank you!

@mattcouchman6976 2 года назад

Worked for my 2022 KLR 650. Step by step without skipping any steps! Made my installation a breeze.

Hello, I have a question, I have seen in some places that it says that the top gun no longer works for generation 3, could you tell me how it has worked for you, I want to make the change in mine. thank you

@techydog7854 3 года назад

4:30 Kawasaki explicitly states do not go backwards (higher to lower) when adjusting the pretension. On the flip side the pop going from hi to low would probably send the spring compressors flying and the spring going into low orbit.

Thanks Ryan. Almost makes me nostalgic for my '73 Kawasaki, 3 cylinder, 2 stroke.

Do you happen to know if Harley offers a particular spanner wrench for the Harley police seat coil spring?

How do I know what spring to get for a 300 lb rider?

@ThreeTwoVictor 3 месяца назад

I'm on this subject as well. If you go to his website, he has four options and a chart that shows which spring you should get for the given load. You could go White (251-300lbs), Yellow 301-350lbs) or Black (251-400lbs).

@scottberry5266 3 месяца назад

@@ThreeTwoVictor : I weigh 330 and put a yellow 8 kg spring on it. Also put heavy oil in it. Didn’t have any shock oil so I put 10 wt hydraulic oil in it. Haven’t ridden it yet, can’t be any worse than it was.

@ThreeTwoVictor 3 месяца назад

@@scottberry5266 I just installed the black the other day and it's like I'm riding a completely different bike. The handling is so much better. Now to save up for progressive front springs!

@scottberry5266 3 месяца назад

@@ThreeTwoVictor : I put the Larry roseler progressive in the front. Not sure what the rate is but they were higher price than the regular progressive springs that were offered. Also put 5w40 rotella t6 in. Not sure if that was good or bad.
