i have a 94 shock and 92 for sale.. also i just bought a penski 8983 witch is a derect bolt in for the f2.. it does come with big price tag..800 dollars..fully adjustable with ride hight adjustment

 

I'd suggest looking for a Fox twin-clicker rear shock for your F2. I put one on my F2 as a bolt-on and it works wonderfully...found it for $150 off eBay. It features full adjustability (8 clicks rebound and 24 clicks compression I believe) as well as ride height adjust, although I don't advise jacking around the rear height too much. Yes, you'll be able to flick the bike over more quickly with a a jacked-up rear, but you'll lose stability in the front and potentially some traction in the rear. Keep any changes to your geometry moderate and if adjusting the ride height, consider purchasing a steering damper to help prevent tankslappers.

Re-valving your front forks is also a good idea. From the factory, F2's came with forks that were softer than the rear, and if you weigh more than 140 you're probably a bit heavy for them. You can also replace your forks with 1994 F2 forks, which are cartridge forks that are fully adjustable.

 

Just bought a slightly used '98 F3 rear shock and installed it. It was like new and performs much better (tighter/less bounce) than the '91 stock shock.

The only tricky part (after the not so easy install of the shock) was finding a place to tie down the external reservoir. I ended up putting it behind the regulator/rectifier.

Highly recommend the upgrade.

 

Squale147, do they sale a Penske 8983 made specifically for the 600 F2, or is there one made for a different bike that is a direct bolt-on?

Thanks in advance if you get this.

 

its made for the f2.. it went right in with no problems...
