TM/RM Shock Length
« on: February 24, 2012, 09:20:52 pm »
Gday all,

My TM400 and RM370 have the original stock shocks and i am looking to replace with either Works, YSS or possibly Gasi (they offer adjustable rebound), so my question is what length to fit??

TM400  - 13.5" or 13.75" ??
RM370  - 15.25 or 15.5" ??

Thanks

yes, the 370 had 15.25", RM400's had 15.75". RM465 was 16.25" I believe. I'm not sure what you are asking? Why not stick to original lengths? Any new shock can have springs to suit you today, etc.

Luke,

Mostly for owners of these models what they have found is best suited for the bike.
