Hi guys, I just had a reply back from Maxton Suspension after asking them what they could do to improve the MT09 ( copied below ). Its an expensive option but i have used them before, the results are outstanding. Has anyone used them for the MT already or found a cheaper option? I think i've...

So I fitted some Braking wavy discs about 10 days ago before the front suspension upgrade and got no noticable improvment . Then the suspension was done Friday last and the brakes can now be used so much harder . But Sunday I fitted SBS pads and the brakes are now eye popping . My God they are...

I am wondering what other Tracer owners think of the suspension? I have to say I find it a bit harsh. I come to the Tracer from my previous bike which was an XJR 1300 which was very soft by comparison so I realise I need allow for some difference. What I would like to do is soften things up a...

Took my bike out for a decent ride today with a mate who also has a MT. we swopped over for a few miles and both of us couldnt believe the difference between the two. His is completely standard regarding the suspension and he was amazed how my Ohlins Andreani combo has transformed the bike. To...

I have seen a couple of threads now from owners around the 7-8k mileage mark - one being that the front suspension was bottoming out one of the forks needed replacement and on another the rear suspension was rusting and again needed replacing under warranty. I understand that some new cars/bike...

Hi guys, as I am on the heavy side and like to ride with my girl as well, I tend to bring the bike suspension to its limits. What suspension upgrades would you recommend? Is there a noticable difference? How about value for money? Thnx

Lets have a thread, all in one place, where you tell us what you've changed and how you rate it !

Having read a thread from a U.S. FZ09 site, it would appear that some people are purchasing Ohlins front springs and looking to upgrade their rear suspension. I have to admit that i am quite happy with the suspension and damping on my bike. I have adjusted the pre-load and rear shock /nitro to...
