GSXR 250................lol

ybslow · 08-29-2008, 02:47 AM

Well, after riding the 250 on the track @ Little Talladega we discovered how soft the suspension really is. So after some searching on the 250 forums I found the first mod. Installing an 07 GSXR600 rear shock on the little 06 250.

Here are some of the pics of the project.

Took her out for a ride after the mod.................wow, what a difference. I def need to do something with the front forks now.

That's cool, how much modding/effort did it take?

Nice job.

Great. How much higher does the rear ride compared to stock?

Well the mounting holes on the Gxr are smaller so I had to drill them out. Had to file the bottom legs of the strut about 1mm so they would fit in place nice and snug. The top mount has a T bracket that has to be cut off in order to clear the shocks reservoir. The project took about 4hrs.

The ride is about 1 inch taller and nice and stiff

I vote you adapt some GSXR forks by pressing the 250 triple stem into the lower GSXR tree. it can be done, and isnt terribly hard I dont think.

Did you raise the front at all to match it?

If not, I imagine your turn-in got a lot quicker? On the bad side, did it decrease trail enough to make the front unstable?
