Thought I would share my first thoughts on a pair of forks that have been fettled with Maxton cartridges and springs. I was lucky enough to agree an exchange with a UK owner who was putting his bike back to stock . He was roughly same weight as me around 115kg with gear so they felt made to...

Found a 2009 zx10r unit with 11k miles from ebay. Its my plan to eliminate the pogo in the corners along with the sag upon acceleration. With the research I've done on the zx10r shock threads everything indicates this spring should work for my 6' 220lb frame. What do you guys think?

My 2015 Tracer has one front rebound adjustment only. How does it work ? Having only one on right hand fork? I am curious if I can find another right hand fork insert , would I be able to install it on the left fork?

Hi all, Just letting you all know that the legend of suspension, Dave Moss has recently uploaded a full feature video on the 2021 MT09 SP regarding suspension. https://davemosstuning.com/test-tune-2021-yamaha-mt-09-sp/ I highly recommend purchasing the video not only for the quality of...

So I get a bit of wobble @117mph+, depending on conditions. Nothing immediately threatening but enough to make me back off the throttle. I want to fix this. I was initially thinking of adding the GPR v5 damper (fits the XSR900 after modding the center tank panel a bit). But a friend suggested...

Hello All, So I'm new to the forum but have been scouting it for a while now. I bought my Yellow '15 with 1k miles just under a month ago and have been loving the bike, but as per a lot of peoples tif with the bike, the rear shock is lacking for me. I'm 6'0" and 175lbs - 185lbs geared up and...

I'm looking to make some adjustments to the suspension on my '15 09. I haven't had a tank slapper yet, but I notice at highway speeds I can wobble the bars fairly easily on command, which is something I don't like. Also when cornering, there is some wobble if you hit a bump mid-lean, plus the...

I read that most of you use the ZX6RR rear shock...are there any other models out there that would fit ??? model, year ???

Good Afternoon, (I searched, please don't bash) I recently purchased a 16 FZ09 and I am in love, I knew from the get go that I would have to do some adjustments for the suspension and I am wanting to pick some fellow riders brains and see what the community would recommend. First off, the...

Guys/Gals (are there any gals in here? lol) - I'm about to pull the trigger on some suspension upgrades from Stoltec, and I'm looking for a reputable shop in the Asheville-Charlotte area (or East Tenn.). I'm putting my FZ 09 on my buddy's trailer bound for his house in the Blue Ridge mountains...

FEEDBACK on "compression circuit revalve" done to the Andreani kit BY FORKS BY MATT First off let me just start by saying that most likely I will go ahead and proceed with this mod regardless. I'm currently in the process of purchasing a set of Andreani front fork cartridges from FORKS BY MATT...

Hello FZ09 forum members, I understand that this topic has been covered many times in the past but I keep on reading mixed reviews regarding my question. Q1. I currently weigh 230-240 with gear. What spring rate would someone recommend with the FZ09 Andreani front fork kit for aggressive...

Yamaha FZ 09 $7800. 28xxmiles Excellent condition, motor was broken in properly as per manual. Never laid down. Suspension has been completely re-worked. GP suspensions valve and piston kit performed by GP suspensions with new springs up front . Penske 8983 double clicker w/ external reservoir...

Don't do it! It is the wrong bike... The bike will handle poorly loaded with gear... It has terrible fuel range... Yes, some of the these comments are what I heard when I told my riding friends about taking the FZ-09 on an extended multi-state trip including to British Columbia. Can a...

Just had my shock revalved/resprung by Terry and WOW - This is what a suspension is supposed to do. Bumps are now singular - no more 2 -3 little after bumps as the damping finally controls suspension movement. No more rear stepping out in corners. The ride is definitely better than stock over...

Greetings & Salutations! This is my first posting on this Forum, and I hope I do it properly. I’m in my mid-fifties and been riding all sorts of bikes since I was ten so I consider myself a veteran motorcyclist, and I’m a new FZ-09 owner. Well, correction, I will be a new FZ-09 owner in the next...
