feels

My 2014 MT09 feels like a 1970's bike when on bumpy B roads around Sussex I know there has been a lot said on the forum about the poor quality rear shock but can I ask the owners who have change the shock for a Nitron is there a big difference? I have tried to adjust the pre-load and re-bound...

Installed the 2005 ZX10R shock, standard MT spring set at stock max preload length, 1.5 turns out from minimum reb and comp, rear end excellent, compliant and controlled $200 NZD mod inc Suzuki Bolt kit. The front end was a bit dearer to sort but still happy. Managed to secure another R/H...

Hi everyone. Andy from Yateley, Hampshire here. Just been out for a bit of a chilly ride following my recall updates (ECU fuelling fix and headlight gubbins). Got to say it feels like new bike in STD mode now i've had the ECU update! Roll on warmer weather. Cheers
