【NITRON】Rear Suspension Mono Shock NTR R1 Series Review
Fits: KAWASAKI Z900RS CAFE, KAWASAKI Z900RS
I think it is worth the 100,000.
I was torn between NITRON and OHLINS, and finally decided to go with NITRON after reading Impression on webike and YouTube. In my case, I had my OEMSeat modified by a Seat shop to soften the ride quality, but in the case of Z900RS, the ride quality was still hard, so I decided to customize the suspension to NITRON. I decided to purchase NITRONR1 because I thought it was more cost-effective than Rival's OHLINS. It took about half a year from order to arrival, but the actual NITRON suspension that arrived was solid, soft, and satisfactory. However, I was concerned that the color of Thailand Tanium Black was a little pale. Also, I thought the included Instruction Manual was difficult to understand for beginners. In addition, I regret a little that I should have bought R2 or R3 if I had to.

Ride quality changes.
It arrived about 3 months after purchase.
I thought I might not be able to see much of a difference because of the use for city driving and touring, but that was not the case at all.
With the OEM suspension we had been using, there was a tendency for the car to bounce when stepping on the gap, and for the body to swing back and forth a large amount when breaking and re-accelerating, but after the replacement, these problems disappeared and the ride became very firm and secure.
Motorcycle is over 20 years old, so the same may be felt with OEM suspension OH, but we are very satisfied with the high quality appearance of this product.
Although not specified in this case, it appears that Lowdown and other Orders can be made at the time of ordering.

Improved ride and buttock pain!
Since my previous vehicle was an OHLINS, this time I purchased a NITRON, which I had long been curious about.
I'm a total amateur and adjusting for softness.
Touring about 300km after replacement with FrontNORMAL.
Adjustment was made because Front was also customized later.
The weight of the Rider equipment is approximately 58 kg.
I would have preferred R2 or R3 if I had to pay a little more, but I didn't like the look of the adjuster on the outside and the setting is a hassle, so I bought R1 which is simple. I'm not a bullshitter!
Was the one you received as per Image?
The product image is for a different car model to begin with, so please do not be offended.
I chose Black for Spring, and the rest were Gun meta, which is an austere color. I think it suits my Black XSR700. Very cool.
Was the installation difficult?
When I received it, I had mysteriously attached a Center Stand, so I floated the Swing Arm to the position where the Nut was loose with the Pantograph jack, and BoltQuantity:Pulled out 2pcs and completed replacement.
Torque referred to the Service manual.
How was your experience with it?
I bought it as is and rode it with the factory settings, not knowing the Order. I think it is enough as it is if you are very heavy or if you are not a circuit rider.
With the NORMAL suspension, my buttocks became sore after one hour, but after replacing the rear suspension, my buttocks do not get sore no matter how much I ride. The ride quality has improved and the stability in Curve has increased.
After installing NAG BURRITO on the front, I felt a bump in the rear, so I reduced the ambidextrous dumping of the NITRON a little and it calmed down.
I have not adjusted the Pre-road adjustment as it seems to be moderately stroked, but the adjustment process is tedious, so the Hydraulic Adjuster (Not selectable by webike?). is attractive.
[Included Parts:were they on?
Instruction manual, special tool for pre-road adjustment (Hexagonal Wrenchetc. could be substituted, but Parenthesis is better) Nut came with 1pc. but used OEM.

what on Earth is this?
I am an old rider. I had been skipping the replacement of the suspension and just doing grease up by replacing the needles on the LINK, but it was getting too noisy, so I decided to replace it to make sure the needles were in good condition. I have had experience installing external suspension systems such as X-Lins, Wight Power, and XSS, but I can assure you that it is the best. It is the best.
First of all - compared to the OEM, it is much lighter, sinks in firmly, improves footing, is supple, and has a great gap and tread.
I think the high speed Corner is good, but there is no comparison with Nylon. I have the Handlebar Up Type and it feels like I'm riding a NAKED. As others have commented in the review, it is better to try it first than to replace the exhaust system and reduce the weight. The ZX12R has a reputation for being difficult to drive, but it has become a normal Mega sports car.
Replacement will take about an hour, but if you are not careful, the vehicle may tip over, etc. Please be careful if you have no experience in rear suspension replacement.

Texture is better than O company for Large
Refreshing and good because there is no hydraulic pre-adjuster.
I like the fact that Black is selectable.
Dial is Material because all parts are cut-out:The quality is higher than that of Company O, which is sometimes Plastic.
Although it is a 1-way system, the damping can be adjusted finely, so it is not insufficient for touring and mountain pass level.
