07~10 Tiger 1050 Shock Revalve

Just thought I would post up a image of a 08 Tiger 1050 shock that has been resprung/revalved for a local Tiger rider. If someone catches it and says hey that spring is from a Sprint ST shock then you would be 100% correct, What I did since I have extra springs laying around from past rebuild/revalves on sprint shocks is replaced the stock spring 11.35 kg/mm with the Sprint ST spring 13.4 kg/mm. This will allow more capacity in the rear without cranking the preload way up. The shock has been revalved on both rebound (For the higher rate spring) and the compression to add a little more compression damping than stock. I also modified the taper on the rebound needle to offer a bit more adjustment and better control of the rebound.

I will break down the pricing so you know what something like this would cost.

Spring N/C if the Sprint ST spring will work for you. Limited availability though as I will run out at some time.
Shims for revalve $30.00
Nitrogen Charge Bolt $15.00
Oil Seals $20.00
Fluid $7.00
Labor $120.00
Total shown $187.00 (pricing can change at any time due to increases from the parts suppliers)
If you need a spring rate something other than a 13.4 kg/mm that would add $100.00 for the spring and $20.00 for the spring spacer.



To give you a idea on the changes in damping between the stock shim stack on the compression and after the HRS revalve here is a graph representing the damping changes. As you can see the damping across the board is stiffer as the 07~10 Tigers are pretty soft in the rear.


As far as rebound damping most Triumphs that I have revalved are very fast (Too little damping) on the rebound even with the stock spring. Here is the graph that represents the amount of damping change from stock Triumph shim stack to the HRS revalve shim stack.


These damping changes are also taking into account the change in spring rate, Going from the stock 11.35 kg/mm to the 13.4 kg/mm.
