BBB Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I would imagine it would be the same for the original FJ @quoman. Have a search for setting sag and preload on the forum.

Supporting Member roadrash83 Posted September 29, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted September 29, 2018 Has anyone done a basic suspension set up on the new tracer, it feels quite soft I talked to the suspension guy that does my track day bikes and street bikes. He said to wait for 1500-2000mi before doing the sag and setting the preload to let the suspension break-in, that way you don't have to do it twice. He is very familiar with the 900 Yamaha's He has a lot of customers that use them for track days. Time to get mine in! He who dies with the most toys wins.

Supporting Member betoney Posted September 29, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted September 29, 2018 Has anyone done a basic suspension set up on the new tracer, it feels quite soft An important first step in your suspension setup is correct spring rate for your weight. In my experience with the original '15 FJ, the forks actually weren't too bad but the shock needed some help. I haven't ridden the new Tracer/GT and dont know if they have actually improved the spring rates or internal valving. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
