marider Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hi every one, Just ordered my fz-07 and thought I would call to see about upgrading the suspension a little on the 07 before I get my dirty mits on it. Well I called and talked to Mark at Traxxion and have to say what a great experience. I am not able to spend the money on 2K suspension work (wife would put a pillow over my face in my sleep if I did) Well good to know that there are other options out there. Mark informed me that the stock rear shock can be re-valved and re-spung for a very reasonable amount along with a drop in kit for the front forks. I do not ride track days and other that some back road shenanigans dont ride to crazy. If any one is thinking of upgraded there suspension please do your self a favor and order from Traxxion.

Cruizin Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Suspension should be the first upgrade people get for the FZ-07. They don't realize this until the first ride after install, and then it's a whole new bike and will rip thru the corners, and be alot safer in the corners.

marider Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Completely agree. I am around 215 in gear and for the riding I am doing I think it is a good investment. I would love to spend the money on a full AK kit and penske shock but I wont ever be seeing track time but I do live in an area that has not the best kept road (thanks MA) for only 700 and some change from what Mark had told me you can have a very good street setup.

pantheraleo Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Well don't keep in suspense. Suspension pun intended? O judgment! Thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason. Bear with me. My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause...till it come back to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamalv Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 So @marider, did you get the traxxion option done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvp Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 After I get my bike I will be doing something like this! Thanks for the info. How do you like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattonme Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 If any one is thinking of upgraded there suspension please do your self a favor and order from Traxxion. Traxxion makes good stuff. But you can get full-on cartridges for $1100 from them or rather 1/3 to 1/2 that from a couple places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtmn Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 pulled the fz out of storage today and put 5 miles on her very windy and not real warm from what I can tell the fork is better then stock and has firmed up the bike nicely no more dive on the fork or at least not as bad that is with traxxion drop in kit I like it a lot im 250lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtmn Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 alright so I didn't ride it right after the install of the damper kit it was like 4 months but now I am starting to see how this bike soaks up the bumps and its fricken awesome give traxxion a call if your over 200 lbs I think you owe it to yourself I also own a ctx1300 and its a 16000.00 dollar bike and the fork now sucks and its brand new I will be the test guy for traxxion on that one if there is an improvement like the 7 I will be ecstatic wish me luck there is something to be said for spending to much and being disappointed so damper kit will probably be all a guy needs unless hitting the track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamalv Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Good to know. Thanks for the feedback. Waiting on the stock rear shock re-done to be shipped out by Traxxion. Got the damper kit ready to go. Hopefully it all comes together in the next couple of weeks. Now if I could lose a bit of pounds in that time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
