Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a new suspension for my RC390 2015. I've heard that the yamaha r6 99-02 suspension are the best ones to go with (in term of pricing and riding reviews). However, I was wondering if I can just swap the r6 suspension right on the bike or I would need to make adjustements (bushings, etc.) If there is any, what are the best options to get the pieces. Thanks all!

In total it cost me like $50. There is a huge thread on it in this forum, I would start at page 1.
It is this thread;
www.rc390-forum.com
It's a large thread but it will cover all your questions and more. If I remember correctly the R6 will fit with some bushings, some made it themselves, some used a Suzuki (?) part number that matched the desired specifications.
It's also a really useful thread with lots of knowledgeable posters that may help you out with spring rates.
I went with a Ducati ST4 shock that I'm really pleased with, but that's also in the thread.
Bottom line, good thread, go read it. Share your experiences or questions so that it may remain an active thread with lots of knowledge/experience shared.
Shock Swap with 99-02 R6
So I have been POURING over rear shocks from 86 to 15, looking at possibly viable contenders for a shock swap for the RC390. Lets face it, the stock street (non-cup) rear shock... is total garbage. The WP shock is a possibility, but it's pricey for something that still isn't exactly reported to...

Awesome. Didn’t know there was a TTX option. Genuinely no changes needed?

Thanks for the reply, that’s fantastic to hear there’s a TTX option that fits our bikes. Especially after the JRI shock was discontinued I’ve been unsure what to go with.
is this the shock you’re using?

awesome. Thanks! Will see if I can find one used. I would have thought that big reservoir wouldn’t fit.
What year
What years were the 675 r. Did the truimph have a shaft attached to the top that mounted v inyo the frame
