Based on the wildly popular Race Tech Suspension Seminars taught by Paul Thede around the world, this step-by-step guide shows riders how to make their bikes handle like the pros. Thede gives the lowdown on all types of suspension, including cartridge and non-cartridge forks as well as dual-chamber and nitrogen-charged shocks.
The three forces of suspension, testing procedures, even the black arts of chassis geometry: This explains it all. The book provides step-by-step photos of suspension disassembly and assembly as well as a detailed troubleshooting guide for dirt, street and track.
Heavy duty shock bumper. The stock bumper is prone to disintegrating with age. If you are re-valving your shock it's a good idea to be sure the bumper is in good shape.
Cogent Dynamics has created another winner - the 'World's Edge' shock for the 650 V-Strom the rear end you have wanted for all these years. This unit gives the DL650 excellent control with a firm but comfortable ride, both solo and two-up. This shock is equipped with adjustable damping control so you can customize the action to your preference. Please call for lowering options also if you need them.
The Bling Ring preload adjuster and thrust bearing on the spring make preload changes easy when you fill the bags and add a copilot. Keeping the ride height up can make the difference between a good handling motorcycle and a peg scraping pig. Want to make it easier yet? Add a Hydraulic Preload Adjuster like the stock shock has.
Includes mounting bracket.
Bikes with ABS require the hydraulic preload adjuster
Because the stock shock cannot be rebuilt and offers insufficient adjustment, Race Tech developed a bolt on replacement shock to cure an under sprung and under-damped stock setup.
Race Tech's G3-S Custom Series Shocks are truly custom with spring rates and valving picked specific to each rider. Each shock is built to order featuring Gold Valves to guarantee a plush feel and great bottoming resistance while also providing more traction than any other setup on the market.
Please include your riding weight, skill level, and type of riding in the order comments.
Race Tech HP Springs have a high stiffness-to-mass ratio. In other words; the springs are light weight for their particular spring rate. This requires the finest materials and processing. Shot-peened and pre-set so they cannot sack out. All Race Tech HP Springs have the highest rate tolerances in the industry. These are the finest springs in the world-guaranteed.
OEM spring rates are 7.7kg on early models and 8.2kg on later models. We offer stiffer spring rates from 5% to 25% for riders who wish to carry luggage or just prefer stiffer suspension.
5% More than stock
Designed and built for Dual-Sport and Adventure bikes, the Nitron Adventure Series R1, R2 and R3 shocks offer exceptional road and trail performance.

The Öhlins Africa Twin shock has knob adjustable rebound and compression damping on a 46mm machined aluminum body combined with a hydraulic remote preload adjuster with a hose mounted actuator and mounting bracket. The gas reservoir uses a much higher quality compression adjuster/head valve along with a solid separator piston to prevent gas bleed-over. The improved adjuster circuits provide a wider range of adjustability.
Solo riders with light loads should select the 9.7 spring. 2-up riders or heavier loads select the 10.7 spring.
Features and benefits of this Öhlins shock:
Sized perfectly for adult back-yard racing or fast/aggressive mini riders. This is the most important upgrade you can make for an adult sized rider. The stock suspension is too soft for most adults and aggressive kids. Fits stock shock.
Custom developed by BBR Motorsports for the ultimate upgrade for mini four-strokes. Sized perfectly for adult back-yard racing or fast/aggressive mini riders.

The Moab Pro-Series shock from Cogent Dynamics is the standard by which all other shocks are judged in the KLR world. With its superior performance and exceptional reliability, Moab Pro-Series shocks have literally conquered the world many times over. The staff at Cogent is as passionate about motorcycles as you are.
Spring duties are handled by a custom spring available in either Standard or Heavy-Duty weights. The Standard spring will be fine if you are under 250 pounds and don't ride with luggage or passengers often. If you regularly carry luggage boxes and/or a passenger and weigh over 250 pounds, you will probably prefer the Heavy-Duty spring. Call if you have any questions.
Because of the limited space with the reservoir, adjusting your preload is just about impossible and for that reason we only sell these units with the Cogent Hydraulic Preload Adjuster already installed!
For a true comfort and performance package, we highly recommend upgrading your front suspension at the same time.
If you have '87-'07 KLR, you MUST order new mounting bolt. Not required for 2008-2018 models.
The Moab shock from Cogent Dynamics will change how you feel about your GEN 3 KLR650. You may like it now, maybe even like it a lot, but you will absolutely fall in love with it once you mount up a Moab shock.
Spring duties are handled by a custom spring available in either Standard or Heavy-Duty weights. The Standard spring will be fine if you are under 250 pounds and don't ride with luggage or passengers often. Ride heavily loaded or with a passenger regularly and you will probably want the Heavy-Duty spring.
There is very limited manual preload adjustment access on the Gen 3 KLR650 without removing the shock. Therefore, the addition of the Remote Preload adjuster gives you the convenience of optimizing your rear suspension spring preload for quick leveling (load compensation) of your bike to accommodate a passenger, luggage or just to change ride characteristics based on your preferences. The adjustment which would normally require reaching the shock in your bike to turn a threaded collar using a tool can be easily adjusted by twisting a remote knob which uses the convenience of hydraulics to change the spring preload up to 100% (9 mm total range of preload change).
There is a mounting conflict for the Remote Preload adjuster with the Happy Trails and T-REX crash bars.

The Moab shock from Cogent Dynamics will change how you feel about your KLR. You may like it now, maybe even like it a lot, but you will absolutely fall in love with it once you mount up a Moab shock.
Spring duties are handled by a custom spring available in either Standard or Heavy-Duty weights. The Standard spring will be fine if you are under 250 pounds and don't ride with luggage or passengers often. Ride heavily loaded or with a passenger regularly and you will probably want the Heavy-Duty spring.
For a true comfort and performance package, we highly recommend upgrading your front suspension at the same time.
If you have '87-'07 KLR, you MUST order a new mounting bolt. Not required for 2008-2018 models.
Showa removed the schrader valve on many newer rear shocks. Now you need a needle to recharge your shock with nitrogen after a rebuild. Race Tech built this unit just for that job.
The features of this tool include 300 psi capacity, bleeder valve and T-handle plunger pin chuck. Swivel chuck has a 12" flexible hose. Comes complete with instructions, carrying box and Schrader valve extension (required on some Showa shocks). Nitrogen bottles available at any welding supply house.

Top suspension performance requires firm bottoming resistance with plushness at the same time. Even the best suspension tuners can only make the stock valving design work so well. The Gold Valve Shock Suspension System is a proven bolt-on shock valving system that improves control, traction, performance and bottoming resistance.
The Race Tech Gold Valve allows you to tune both compression and rebound valving for vastly improved performance.
The little WRs have decent shocks but it can surely be improved with a Rear Shock Gold Valve from Race Tech. This will improve the damping in both directions and make the clickers more responsive to adjustments.
Rebound Separator Valves replace the shock shaft nut with an asymmetric valve (provides a different flow rate in each direction of travel) to increase traction and improve bottoming resistance and pitch control.
Why is this needed? On a standard shock the Low Speed Rebound Adjuster flows the same on compression and rebound. In testing, when the lowest speed rebound damping is quick enough to get good traction, the lowest speed compression damping is too mushy. This causes a vague feeling and bottoming on long duration hits like big dips or gullies in Dirt. For Pavement RSV's have the added benefit of pitch control (front to back movement during acceleration and braking). This keeps geometry more consistent.
The Valve has a partially drilled bleed hole in the center. IT MUST BE DRILLED BY THE END USER TO THE PROPER SIZE (2.8mm).
G3-LD Gold Valves provide better control for any rider by creating more shim leverage and decreasing the angular shim deflection.
