Would it be safe to say you turned the aps counter clockwise about 1/8 inch?

Have a link to what ya got?

👍 Did they have the parts or did you bring your own? Sac is about 2 hours from me. San Fran sico is about the same. Any suggestions in the 707 area?

Well. First, basically what is a good value for around 1500 usd.? Just in parts. I'm thinking K-Tech is a good option? 2019 Yamaha TRACER 900 K-Tech Suspension Razor-R Lite Rear Shock 2019 Yamaha TRACER 900 K-Tech Suspension 20IDS Fork Cartridges I'm not a racer. I enjoy spirited riding every now and then but my tires wear mostly down the middle. And those 2 purchases should totally cover me right? Nothing else to buy as far as shocks and forks go besides fork oil. Second. Is this a diy project? I do brakes, change shocks, I do all my own work on my vehicles and have been wrenching all my life. But I have never done motorcycle forks. From what I have read so far, most people have been able to do the cartridge swap without buying special tools. I saw one guy made a tool from pvc pipe to reach down in the tube to get that one special nut. 👍 And I could macgiver a spring compressor. The rear shock seems fairly straight forward. But then I ask myself if its worth it to pay a shop to do the work. It is vital that it is done correctly. And I would suspect a shop would spend some time helping me set it up correctly too. But, in my area a good suspension shop is 1.5 hours away. And its more money. The second question is more of a personal choice I guess. But some feedback on the K-tech choice or another option would be cool.

That's unfortunate. I was hoping to run across someone who could hold my hand a little bit when searching out suspension. Looking on the forum here the suspension section is kind of quite. The available choices are overwhelming.

I see people posting about "forks by matt" But looking around he is no longer a member? Whats the story?

Sounds sweet. I can turn a wrench so I am going to try this myself. Although I think if I could find a shop nearby that specialized in suspension I may go that route. I'm hoping that I can spend just under 1500 usd and get goodies for both the front and rear. But the options out there are overwhelming.

Yup. Those are the ones. Pretty straight forward swap with a long extension. One of the riser kept spinning on me when tightening it down but other than that it was fairly simple. I did not have to make any changes to cables or anything except mirrors. Well worth it in my opinion. The ease of putting the key in is a added bonus.

What suspension goodies did you decide on? I have the base 900 and have been looking around trying to find something that is the best bang for the buck.

I just got done putting on risers that are lower and I set them farther away. Wow! so much better for me. Feel way more in tune with the bike.

chopped the stock windscreen and painted the bottom black. Not sure how I feel about the paint. Had I had a second chance I would have gone with a color that matches more. But I am gonna leave it for now.

Thanks for the info. Did you run into any issues with cables or levers? Sounds like this is pretty straight forward swap. I just pulled the trigger on getting some.

Seems like the 2017-2020 models may not benefit from this?

So it's been a year. Still have them on? Any regrets?

I will only use it when I am at the track.

Looking to get the slip on for my 2019. Where is the best online source? Looking for good reputable dealer at a decent price. Live in Cali but will purchase from anywhere worldwide. Thanks.

He is either a troll or lacks the mental capacity to discuss issues without getting angry and insulting if you don't agree. Ignore him.

Looking through your post history I can see that confrontation is something you enjoy. And using your logic no one should make modifications to a bike to make it better for themselves. Change windscreen? Noooo. Change your riding style. Put your head closer to the windscreen. Ass get sore on the seat? Dont change the seat. Change your body. Go ahead and keep on knocking people if it makes you feel good. I will get the golden ticket because I have gotten it before with a little bit of research and work on my previous bikes. You might get there someday if you relax a bit and take some advice from us "old school riders" .... Also facts.

Exactly. Which is why I am working on changing the bike to match my style. Think about that.

I agree riding style is somewhat involved in all things. But I do not think I need to change my riding style after 30 years of riding over 6 different motorcycles. None had nearly as twitchy of a throttle as this bike. This particular bike has this quirk and I am hoping to remedy it using suggestions found here. Sounds like a ecu flash may do the trick.

I wish I could do a before and after comparison of a ecu flash. I am getting use to the abruptness of the throttle, but I still notice it quite a bit. Like going over bumps on the road cause a noticeable change in the throttle just because my hand moves a bit while going over bumps. All while in standard mode. I'm nervous to go into to A mode right now. Hopefully a ecu flash mellows it out a bit.

Is there such a thing? California models have different tuning?

My bike came without the bars. If anyone is looking to let go of a black set for a reasonable price hit me up. 2019.

Moving the lever increases the distance between the two cable connection points. Reducing cable slack. You are correct that the travel is the same. If I rotate the lever 90 degrees, the clutch cable would then be to short.
