I have a high mileage 2008 c14. I want to put a low mileage 2015 c14 shock on it. I think it's just bolt on. Is this correct. Any help is appreciated.

Now that you have a spare if you dont like it you can send your old off to have resprung and revalved.
Somewhere around 2020 I think Kawasaki went to a stiffer spring. Does anyone know for sure?

Following this one ted....lol it wasn't red was it....sorry couldn't help myself
So, the shock that Jim is installing has a stiffer spring than his original?
KH, as we can see; the stiffer spring was added 1 year after the superior Red (2014) Connie.
(I guess that they learned that "the RED C-14 was so fast", that they needed a beter suspension/stronger spring).

Figured it would be the same installing but do you notice the spring rate change?
Obviously. Definitely. If you say so. Absolutely. It was a 2009 built in 2015 for sure. He had a time machine. Maybe next time don't reply. If you don't know for sure. I know. I did it. You were not there. I posted the outcome to let everyone know who might be considering this in the future. This forum is becoming trash. I was previously warned. Ted with that red is the fastest schtick every time some one posts is getting old. Most of you people just have to reply with snarky answers.You carry on like high schoolers on just about every post in here. Grow up. I'm done.
Jim, there will be other COG members who will find ur modification beneficial, as we've seen many first gen (2008+09) bikes come up for sale lately. I think some of the comments, especially bout different spring rates, were meant to extract some specific numbers confirming the differences in the years. Im presuming this, and some of us would have liked to have had some confirmation as to that fact. As we have seen over the longevity of the c14, there have been many minor changes, but we have also seen major changes with the brakes (linking abs). Ive seen many a posting go into specific details about the 'mod' and I know I myself was looking for the specific dates for when the spring rates changed and how so.
Pretty short fuse you got there Jim. Part of growing up involves self control and learning how to handle ones temper. Learning how to be respectful is a big one. You would do well to take your own advice and grow up. This group is quite happy to avoid people that explode over nothing. Happy trails Jim.
I thought everyone liked my RED comments {??}.
Everyone else knows that the RED comments are posted in fun.
& As far as RED being fastest. It's twuuu, it's twuuu!!
Well at least ya learned somethin' before ya was done..
ie;Ted with that red is the fastest schtick
Ride safe, Ted (Glad I could help)
