Ordered mine last night, it costs a lot to have it shipped to Australia. Hopefully this will give me the answer I was looking for.

Hi Dazzler, I lowered front forks by 10mm. I noticed a quite a difference when cornering. easier to countersteer. pushed it on a straight road until 150 kms/hr. very stable. Thanks for your advice.

Any issues with centre stand hitting the muffler after lowering?

Will lowering front and rear effect the centre stand?

Hi Mate, Why did you drop the front forks by 14mm? Does lowering kit comes with instructions to lower? my bike has been lowered with yamaha oem lowering kit. but forks are not lowered. Thanks

I agree, Just changing Oil (7.5W)would do for his weight. also the Air Gap to 140-150mm) I know this by experience. I recently upgraded mine to hyperpro combi kit (Cheaper way to upgrade suspension.). just springs and oil. Bike corners very well. so planted now. no more break dive. Good enough for someone like me. I'll never ride FJ-09 on a track. This bike is built for road touring.

Best Colour..

Thanks mate, I'll lower mine 15mm soon.

Suspension upgraded with Hyperpro Combi Kit purchased @ Hyperpro WebShop. Delivered to Melbourne in 5 days. A$430 (Progressive front Springs, Oil 7.5W, Progressive rear spring) Fork Seals replaced(20700 Kms on Odometer). Genuine Yamaha (A$50), Labour A$350. Bike corners so well. very comfortable. breaking is excellent. no more front dive. Highly recommended for people with a budget and ride Tracer as a Sports Tourer. 😀

Thank heaps mate.

Suspension upgraded

Hi Mate, I have the same bike and it was lowered when I purchased it. but my forks were not lowered. Can you send me a photo of front forks to see what it is like please?

Hi Ozvfr, Firstly thanks for replying to my post. I am from melbourne. "right springs with properly set up gold valves" looks like the way to go. I was thinking of Hyperpro Combi Kit ($600+ labour). (Progressive springs for front and one spring for rear shock) How much did you have to pay for Racetech springs with properly set up gold valves? Many Thanks

How does your suspension feel now? I am also thinking upgrading to Hyperpro combi kit.

Hi Mate, what was your fork upgrade? I just purchased 2015 Tracer with 19k kms. I 'd like to hear about your experience. I can only afford springs and oil.

My 2015 Tracer has one front rebound adjustment only. How does it work ? Having only one on right hand fork? I am curious if I can find another right hand fork insert , would I be able to install it on the left fork? 11 2 comments Like Comment
