vic Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I wasn’t sure my T9 was riding as smoothly as the demo bike I originally test rode. I performed the “Suspension Calibration Test” and each time it just comes back “Failed”. My bike was lowered by the dealer with a Lust Racing lowering kit, but the dealer assured me this wouldn’t make any difference and the electronic suspension would automatically adjust. Any thoughts/advice.?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koth442 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Unfortunately I'd start with removing the lowering kit too. 1 '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledruide Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Lowering kit is not the problem, I have installed the same kit on my T9 and the calibration was "succes" , did you put the bike on the center stand before the calibration? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 Yes the bike was on the centre stand. vic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledruide Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 ok, can you take a photo of the angular position sensor arm, this is the sensor near the rear shock just above the chain on the left side of the bike . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts/advice.?? My bike also fails the calibration test after I installed a Soupy’s adjustable lowering link myself (former Yamaha Tech of 15 years). Removing the link and going back to stock is not an option for my 30” inseam & 53+ years of riding (meaning I’m old😆), just wasn’t comfortable with the original height of the bike. Accordingly I raised the forks in the clamps 5 mm. I did the cali test a few times, on the centerstand, and gave up, just riding it. Even with it failed it is still much more supple than my ‘85 RZ500😁! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vic Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 Here's a photo. Hard to get in there but hopefully this can throw some light on the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledruide Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 The arm seem positioned correctly, so this not the problem, there is a rod between the arm and the swingarm, is the lower rod bracket tab is against the projection in the swingarm?

Thank you again. Not exactly sure what I'm looking for but here's a top view of the rod that does appear to be attached to the top of the swingarm.

ledruide Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Yes that's what I'm talking, the bracket also is positioned correctly , may be remove the bracket nut on the swing arm and check if the sensor arm move easily, put the nut back and try a calibration. Do you know if the dealer did a calibration with succes after the lowering kit installation ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but the bikes still under warranty so I’ll be calling the dealer next week when they’re open. Hopefully they can sort it out.
