Re: Rear shock absorber
I too would recommend a Hagon shock,mine works a treat along with front fork upgrades.
Re: Rear shock absorber
I am in Australia,
I got a shock from a bloke in the States named Daugherty.
He trades as DMr ( Daugherty Motor Racing, his name is Jamie )!and does a VTR specific shock made from a modded CBR600f4i unit, it is adjustable for everything including length. Jamie owns a VTR himself so had a good insight into what the bike lacked in the back shock department.
I have ZX10 USD forks with Triumph radial brakes and this shock is more than a match.
Does away with the rear shim as well due to the adjustable length.
He sent me a chart for my specs and 3 weeks later I had the shock .
I have had mine for about 12months now and clocked up about 13,000'miles and its held up well under all conditions.
Look him up , his shocks are great .

Re: Rear shock absorber
Thanks for the recommendations. 
At the moment I´m going to ask a refund, I´m replacing now the defective one for original one, that is ok, in fact, I didn´t notice too much difference, if any, between the 21 years old original and the YSS. After some time, when I forget again the hard work to change it, I will decide for a better one that actually improve the bike performance.
