Cogent Shock

After watching the Cycle World video of the guy prepping an 800 Dl for Baja, I contacted Cogent Dynamics and ordered one of their Pro Shocks.
It has preload, compression and rebound.
I've only ridden 80 miles on it but it has eliminated the bounciness I had with my stock shock ( w/ hyperpro spring ).
Very happy with it!
I don't post much, but wanted everyone to know it was out there.

Cogent is good stuff. I swapped out my stock shock on my previous Yamaha FJ-09, and it was a day and night difference. Pricey, but very good. Congrats!

Recommend a shock with separate hi and low compression damping adjustments. Give this place a call for availability:


Have a Wilbers on a Bandit 1250 with 40k mi on it, and a TFX on a DR650 ~15k mi. Both are excellent.

I'm thrilled with the quality and function. It was an easy install and the provided spring is more than enough for my typical ride. I took a lot of 'spirited' rides on OH-555 before December and shock did everything I expected. Quick recovery after bumps, no fade in dampening after several hours of riding and easy adjustments while I was getting everything dialed in.

"How are the forks working out?"

I am very happy with the forks. Springs are just a little stiff but I figure they will settle in with more miles. I ride with 35 L Mosko Moto bags, and all my gear, every ride and the bike handles bumps much better than the stock set-up. Not an "off road" rider but do occasional gravel roads with the usual ruts and pot holes. Suspension recovers quicker from hits, and doesn't bounce multiple times like the stock stuff did.
