Tuono and RSV fork springs the same ?

Italiatwin · Jan 18, 2014

Hi all

I am converting my RSV to a Tuono/Streetfighter type thingy.
Now the bars are a lot higher the front end feels too hard.
I am wondering if the Tuono uses softer springs and if so, will they fit in a 2003 RSV fork leg ? (non Ohlins)

Similar question regarding throttle cable.
Is the Tuono cable longer than the RSV or do the both use the same cables ?

Throttle cable would be a bit longer me thinks due to the higher bars ?

not sure about cables and brake lines but when we run the gen one tuonos we back off on the preloads and compression damping and run it wi softer front end than the race bike set up....

Certainly wouldn't have any ground clearance issues !
In fact I probably wouldn't be able to touch the ground with those mothers on !
Lol.

Have spoken to Chris at K-Tec and he reckons RSV springs 10N and Tuono springs 8.3N.
So question over same part number ?
