karmolis Posted October 20, 2005 I just was wondering about this, since i know a guy with an S model and its rear spring is red. All my friends who have a factory SM has a white spring, but i have a yellow one, and mine is a factory SM also.. So, what colour is yours, and what bike do you have? Does anybody know if the colour has any other meaning? Here's a pic where you can see mine: https://thumpertalk.com/forum/garage.php?do=viewattachment&attachmentid=9094 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayward Son Posted October 20, 2005 color means nothing. E/K have 5.3 S/SM have 5.5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samurai-Jim Posted October 20, 2005 Mine's yellow too BTW. I bet the color only has to do with the bike color. I haven't seen a black one with a yellow spring..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sahkomies Posted October 20, 2005 Are there any differences in shock bodies, settings etc. Between k/e/s/sm and different years? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayward Son Posted October 20, 2005 00-01 S had no rebound adjuster. all on the 02 and newer bike gained the high speed comp adjuster. the springs never varied per year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sahkomies Posted October 21, 2005 The service manual of S model says that rear shock is unserviceable. Is this true and does this mean you can't change the rear spring for S? I did a search and found some instructions how to do this but when looking to fiches at Ron Ayers site I'm not certain if they are good for S too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayward Son Posted October 21, 2005 suzuki just doesnt sell the parts. they are fully rebuildable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sahkomies Posted October 21, 2005 So burned, you're saying that I could change my spring just the way bronco78 descriped in this thread: https://thumpertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=291546&highlight=rear+spring As Suzuki is not selling parts, they simply said that it's unserviceable. Interesting policy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
