[QUOTE="Brodie, post: 1451419, member: 3372"] Harpo RaceTech also offers to rebuild the “non-rebuildable” rear shock, by adding that schrader valve, and refreshing the internals. While they are in there you can, for a price, opt to have them install their Gold Valve shim stacks, and put a stiffer replacement spring on it. It will transform that OEM shock. I have not done that yet for my bike. I opted to buy the 2016 OEM shock for 300 some odd dollars through PartZilla. This newer OEM shock is good enough for my needs. Yamaha has already put stiffer springs on it, and may have tuned the hydraulics for the Generation 3 FJR. It’s only money. Brodie 😁 [/QUOTE]
