GK76a Rear shock and Brake Seals

Post by Jaicen »

Firstly, anybody know what size the rear brake piston seals are on a GK76aSP? Mine are weeping... :cry:

Also, I'd like to replace my rear shock, it's a little soft and bottoms out easily.
Any suggestions for a replacement, or can it be re-built??

D'nt know the size but there £6.95 from wemoto. The rear shock is rebuildable and somone like maxton will help you out.

Hagon do a new rear shock, or you can fit certain gsxr600 shocks with some grinding to the knuckle joint thingy! There's a post about it on here somewhere.

Aye, I saw that post re: grinding, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to resort to such extreme measures!
I spoke to Maxton about re-building the shock, and they said they can service it (£80), but not replace any of the parts, so I think i'll skip that. I'll have a look at the Maxton option, see how that looks before I do anything else.

Cheers, I found what I was looking for. A bit on the pricey side for me right now though.
Think i'll have to live with it being a bit soggy for now...
