Apologies if covered but couldn’t find in search, are most mt09 parts compatible with Tracer GT?

I find it satisfying to maintain my own bikes and cars, you learn how they work and what to look for etc. Biggest lesson for me is to invest in the correct tools.

I’m no Rossi but I prefer the way they feel.

Mine has adjustable side stand and I assume the previous owner fitted. I too was uncomfortable with the amount of lean but have adjusted the stand and will add a bigger foot in due course.

I only buy helmets with removable linings so i can put into wash bag every now and then. External surfaces usually get plexus or rainoff plastic polish.

Will save the $$ and go with Ohlins both ends methinks. They may perform better over the rougher crap for longer. I appreciate the inputs thank you.

Where has the brains trust had good experiences?

Yes mate much like betoney above I have had aftermarket suspension on the last three bikes, maybe we get old and fat lol. Did find the Ohlins had plenty of scope for adjustment? Built for your weight and use?

Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV give you the best of all worlds imo. Sporty tyre suppleness with grip when you need it ( pushing hard or stuffed up lol) but my personal preference is Dunlop Sportsmart 2 if you can find them

Apologies in advance if I am duplicating, searched but didn’t find much, any experiences to share? Have read good things about Matrix, not alot about ohlins or wilbers yet. New components vs spring and revalve only etc.

Hey all. 2019 version is on its way to me, have been befuddled already lol, thought it had electronic damping but no. Am sure it will still be an excellent bike, coming off a very focused S1000R M sport. Hoping the big triple will allow me to simply enjoy riding again. I am in NE NSW AUSTRALIA.
