Global Moderator mjh937 Posted March 28, 2018 Global Moderator Share Posted March 28, 2018 It looks like you just need to do the suspension (you will be amazed at how much of a difference it makes). Great looking bike though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member fzar Posted March 28, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted March 28, 2018 Looking sharp, personally I'd have to add frame-sliders and clutch and stator covers. It's a personal choice though. I like my T-Rex engine case covers that I added after buying my bike, I'm not in love with the T-Rex frame sliders that were installed by the previous owner. Better than nothing for now, I'm not the accessory guy, more function over aesthetics, but to each their own. You've seemed to keep yours clean, as in its not busy, which I like.

Great looking bike though. Appreciate it, I have gone back and forth on suspension. I happily admit that I'm no track rider, so I'm not even sure what I would want. That being said, I do know that my stock setup feels a little bouncy sometimes and the weight transfer can catch me off gaurd every now and then.

Thanks, I have heard mixed reviews on frame sliders. Seems great of you tip over at low speed but could make things worse at the higher speeds. I actually low sided last year doing about 50kph (truck ran a red and I locked up the front while leaned over). Repair bill was $3500 but somehow I didn't have a single scratch on the motor or frame.

I waited about three years before I got my suspension upgraded (I wish I had done it sooner...by about the years). I also just do street riding and have never ridden on a track. The bike feels so much better in the corners and even in a straight line I can accelerate faster as the back end does not squat down and cause it to want to wheelie as easily. Even if you are not pushing the limits you will feel more confident and comfortable with a decent suspension that is set up for your weight.

stickshift Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 My ohlins shock made a massive improvement to the ride quality & handling. It was the cheapest decent quality shock available in Oz too... Cogent's DDC valves for the forks give good bang for buck too, though I'd like to fit ohlins cartridges eventually for a combination of track days & commuting.

This involves having the springs changed to match your weight, as the fz-07 is currently set up for a 160 lb rider. Also have your sag settings set for your height. The difference will blow you away. You will start taking corners 10-15 mph faster and your overall confidence will increase. Suspension is the first upgrade that I do on every bike I own. By far the biggest bang for the buck.

I'm not far off the 160lbs but I'm sure the stock setup leaves much to be desired even when it's 100%. I'm not gonna lie tho, I am super picky when it comes to my bike. Although I would like to upgrade I could never have a yellow spring and I don't know how I feel about mounting a remote reservoir. I'm just special that way I guess...

If you are close to Bellingham we may be able to work something out. Ship it to me and install it here. It took me about fifteen minutes to install the new shock.
