K-tech suspension install and review - KNOX Suzuki GSXR 750 Project

Welcome back to the Knox Suzuki GSXR 750 road/track project bike series. In this episode, we get into installing and giving first impressions about the addition of KTech suspension to the bike.
Having ridden some seriously awesome bikes last year, in particular the KTM 890 Duke R which had a phenomenal suspension set up, my eyes were opened to how good a bike could feel with sorted suspension.

Getting back on the GSXR 750 and after a few track days last year, it became clear to me that the GSXR had some areas to improve upon in the suspension department in order to make it better on road and on track. A bit of internet research and phone calls later and I found TW suspension tech, a suspension specialist who could help me out. After some consultation, I opted for:

K-Tech DDS Lite shock with springs to my weight in the rear.
K-Tech SSK Piston kit with springs to my weight in the front.

Initial road going (in the winter) impressions and review of the K tech DDS Lite shock and K tech SSK piston kit with springs has been excellent, providing a firm set up with much more braking support and less weight transfer than I’d experienced on the GSXR 750 before, but removing quite a lot of the crashiness of the old set up. The bike now feels like the its got race pedigree and is ready to go hunting down some bigger bikes!!

Next month we have our first track day booked and it will be super exciting to see how much of an improvement the new set up makes once we get to push a bit harder! Make sure you are subscribed to the channel because I'll be giving an update as and when we do this. Hope this has been insightful and helpful to anyone who is considering making aftermarket suspension upgrades to their bikes.

Thanks for watching, please like comment and subscribe and we’ll see you next time.
