  1. FZ/MT09 Performance, Suspension & Braking:
    Hi folks, About half a year ago i traded my FZ1 in for an MT09 (2014). I almost didn't buy the bike due to the awfull suspension, but i decided with some upgrades or some tuning of preload and what not, it should be allright. Had the OEM springs dialed in by an expert, but still didn't gel with...

    question is as title reads, until i save up for a ohlins or penske i have to get a used shock that still has a year or so left in it, and i heard the 2017 is a bit better than the 16's suspension (not by much i know) can i do a quick swap on them?
  3. FZ/MT09 General Discussion

  4. FZ/MT09 Performance, Suspension & Braking:
    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...
  5. FZ/MT09 Performance, Suspension & Braking:
    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?
  6. Yamaha FJ09/Tracer General Discussions
    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...
  8. XSR900 Gear & Accessories
    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...
  9. FZ/MT09 Performance, Suspension & Braking:
    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...
  10. FZ/MT09 Performance, Suspension & Braking:
    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 ???
  12. FZ/MT09 Performance, Suspension & Braking:
    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...

    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...
  16. FZ/MT09 General Discussion
