suspension

Can anyone verify the front fork stanchion tube size for 2018 MT-07? I am needing replacement stanchions / tubes that are bent. I have seen a few for sale on ebay and other sites. They are showing 41MM diameter, and either 577MM or 575MM length. 2MM can be a big difference. I have not removed...

Just wanted to post a quick review as I couldn’t find information when I was looking about the K-Tech SSK piston kit and the YSS MZ456 rear shock for a 2015 MT09. Got this fitted last week and went for a good ride on the weekend to test out. Overall this is just night and day difference to...

Aiming to upgrade the suspension on the Tracer before the weather improves. So what has everyone gone for and do you also upgrade the front, and if so, with what ? I know we could spend silly money doing this but just need some realistic prices, given the cost of the bike is relatively cheap...

As much as i love my MT09, being a heavy lad, I do find the suspension too soft and bouncy, So i'm looking at two options: Maxton suspension all round, cheaper option (than the other!) Trade-in and get an MT10 (more expensive but better long term?) Anyone done the suspension upgrade and found...

I have given up trying to get my suspension setup just right. In th past I have been spoilt with having customised or personalised suspension (Ohlins/Nitron, etc). So, I have just bitten the bullet and yesterday took delivery of my forks which have been kitted with an Andreani cartridge (with...

Hi all. Anyone tried setting up their front suspension with success either self taught or watched one of the videos on the internet ?, if so as it in some ways cured the high speed weave at all

Finally got round to adjusting suspension. The front bounced around under braking so I had a look at adjusting front and rear. Best setup for me weighing 12st 11lbs, Front compression 6mm and rebound one click in from maximum, rear compression number 6 and rebound half a turn out. It stiffened...

I had a test ride on the new RS yesterday mainly cos I had a early R which was a great bike,before I set off on the new bike I nearly said I won't bother as the clocks have too many options,I asked the dealer to turn all the TC off but after he had shown me how to do it my eyes had glazed over...

Hi there, I need the front and rear suspension full details of Tracer 700 from chassis specifications page. Anyone? BR

Hi folks, I was reading the post from bluemachine about the hyper pro lowering kit (front and rear). I found a retailer here in the US. decent prices. They could do the install for me as well and I was wondering how long that type of service might be. so that I have a good ball park estimate...

Cmc at Cannock have some of the new mt09s in the shop.Had a good look around it yesterday and fell in love with the Matt black one.I think the new style lights and radiator covers are a nice improvement over the old bike,not too sure about the number plate thing coming off the swingarm though...

Posting this message to share the deal of the century I received at Steve Jordan motorcycles in Leatherhead. Hopefully other MT09 riders can benefit. Mine is the Tracer and it just felt too 'hard' out of the box (oo er vicar)... Steve Jordan's place is well known in the south for excellent race...

Upgraded your suspension? I'd love to buy your leftover r/h fork cartridge. Please PM me if you have one you'd like to sell.

Hi, I'm in a quandary, a dealer is selling the 2016 MT 09 for about the same price as the MT 07 (£6234 OTR) and I am not sure which way to go? They are doing this because a new 2017 MT 09 is going on sale in December. I was unsure if I wanted an MT 07 or an MT 09 in the first place, now I don't...

Just to let you guys know... With the standard suspension i can bunny hop my bike by 4 inches.... i ride and bounce up & down on the pegs and by this i achieve my bunny hop as witnessed by a friend My conclusion is that the suspension is really really bad........ But its ok for me as a london...

Just taken a look at the new range of MT clothing, seems to have grown quite a bit from a couple of years back. Think I might have to make a purchase. I've got a pair of MT cargo pants - size 33 waist, washed a few times so some fade but have all the protectors and in good condition if anyone...

Hello, I'm considering a suspension upgrade but I'm not quite sure which suspension choose. I've read the discussions about suspension here, but I'm still uncertain. Is there any real difference between basic rear shocks from ohlins/nitron/wilbers/hyperpro? Or should I just choose by color? .)...

I've had the tracer a few months now and I am very pleased with it but it needed some mods especially the suspesion so I started with Andreani fork cartridges which I am pleased with the results,I did think the front was worse than the rear but after fitting the k-tech razor R rear shock last...

I like my Tracer and plan on keeping it for a few years yet so I thought it might be worth while doing some suspension upgrades. The original suspension is okay at present but does not have the ride quality of some of my other bikes and it will deteriorate with age ( A bit like me.). Has...
