I'm not familiar with the JR shock from Ken, but I'd like bet it performs just has good if Ken recommends it, My Nitron shock just transformed my rear suspension , from being on a pogo stick rattling my brain and teeth, to totally forgetting about the rear suspension completely , it works that well,
I have mine set on - 6 clicks , the unladen sag was 12 mm and the laden sag was around 35 mm, I didn't need to adjust the sag, It came like that with no adjustment required, You'll need a couple of helpers with this adjustment, one to hold the bike up while you're sitting on it and another to do the measurements,

Totally agree with what Graham has said, I did have to soften it slightly more than what they recommended for me (-16 instead of -12). There is no comparison to the original shock and the best mod I have done (apart from softening the stock seat!).

I inquired to Nitron earlier this afternoon about the R1 vs R2 suspension for my use, plus asked whether they do kits yet for the front. One of the things I want to do is raise the bike maybe half an inch, give it a wee bit more ground clearance, and hopefully Nitron (and/or whoever I also have do the front) can accommodate this. The stock suspension really saps a lot of fun from this bike, and I'm hoping to fix this so I can really enjoy the bike again.

That, and a new seat. Because, damn. :angry3:

Caution don't raise rear to high, chain catches swing arm after about 20 mm extra length.

Called Nitron today 10 to 14 day turnaround to build a shock price is £462 without postage.

Just installed the Nitron R1 shock. Looks good and performes fantastic. It comes in black if you ask for it.

looks fantastic, something I think I need also, as I'm finding the ride a bit hard and bumpy.

Got Maxton front and rear on mine and it's awesome.

Got the Nitron installed yesterday and it's great! The forks are stock though. Really too harsh, but I knew that before. The rear spring just makes it that much more obvious. Unfortunately I think the fork job is a little pricier. Still looking at options, but I'm thinking Andreani. I'd love to have two functioning fork legs, is that too much to ask?!

Dont expect such a dramatic change if you fit Andreani.....
Will handle better but ride is still hard at lower speeds.

I fitted the Maxton fork kit to go with my Nitron shock and can highly recommend it!!

I may well look into this, need more info though as I am not technically minded where bikes are concerned . I'll wait to see how yours works out, or perhaps speak to these people. I have mine on bottom setting purely for height. If I can get a better shock (along with lowered seat) which will improve things then maybe the throttle won't be an issue

Hi, I'm new here - but I also have a big issue with the very snatchy throttle response on my Scrambler, and have just ordered a 'G2 Throttle tamer' from Spain on Ebay. Apparently it has a much gentler lead in on the cam and may solve the problem. I will post a report in a week or so when I try it out !

I fitted it and it made the world of difference at low throttle openings.
