N/A Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Newbie here. Just picked up my MT-07HO (Aussie version of the standard bike as most here are detuned 655cc learner approved bikes). Only done 135kms so far but seems OK apart from a bouncy butt and too much buffeting. So a Nitron shock and Dart Manta screen are on order. Previous owned a couple of TRX850s so I'm used to 270 degree twins - the littler MT is more nimble and lighter than the TRX so once I've got the suspenders sorted I'm expecting to enjoy her. Has anyone here done a cartridge fork upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dav Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Congrats on your patience waiting for the HO! Love mine (and the TRX is for sale) I wound the preload to one off max and it is bearable albeit still bouncy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member fzonly1 Posted October 17, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted October 17, 2015 I just installed a Matris shock yesterday. And I'll be installing the Matris cartridges by next weekend. You might check them out. If the cartridges are half as good as the shock I'll be extremely happy with them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattonme Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Lordy, @gregjet's kit is still not delivered. I thought it was making good time there for a while. For non-north-america the kit is the only economically viable solution. Otherwise get the Matris F15 and take it to your tuner to have it reworked. There's a thread on my findings in the Suspension board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregjet Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 The mills of god grind slowly..... I am working onmy pannier racks and rear rack replacement for the pillion seat so not in a hurry. Looking forward to the kit though. Just watched THE BEST MotoGP race I have EVER seen...ever.....ever.... Go forth and modify my son...go forth and modify...

N/A Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Just watched THE BEST MotoGP race I have EVER seen...ever.....ever.... Yep, it was f'n amazing. Bit like the 125 GPs of old... close, lots of passing and much cleaner than Moto3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N/A Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 OK, thanks, no worries with being in the US, I'd just like to get things sorted so they work. Went for another ride today. The so-called roads around here (Regional SE Queensland) are doing the rather crude suspension of the HO no favours at all. So expect to hear from me soon pattonme. 007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
