When I bought the bike it had 235 miles on it and was turned back in by a rider who didn't like it. Needless to say I got the bike for a great price. That being said I had no idea how the suspension had been set and it certainly wasn't set up for me.
All I can say is the suspention tune up is the single best thing I've done to the bike so far. It changed the whole riding experience. It is now effortless to turn into a corner. Well worth the 20 minutes I spent and $40 I paid.

Suspension is always the best upgrade one can make for speed and safety. So many riders dump so much money into their engines and exhaust, but dont even touch their suspensions. Happy to hear that you like the results! |

Fantastic. I set mine up watching a you tube video. It changed the entire way it feels to me for the better. I did the same thing when I had my R6 and I couldn't tell any difference, but the FZ really works well now. Happy riding

I would like to adjust mine but don't know a thing about it I'm 6'4 200lbs. I may try to bring it to a dealer in the spring and see if they can help me out.

Great guys and would recommend then to anyone in the San Antonio area. |

You can set it up yourself and try it out. If you don't like it just put it back the way it is. Yeah, I set the settings used in this video on my FZ today. It made a world of difference. Previously, the front forks would dive a bit during heavy-ish braking, and would slightly "pogo" upon stopping. Now there is none of that and the bike inspires more confidence in corners. The other change I made was the EBC HH pads. They are a huge improvement over the stock pads. I reiterate many on this site that pads and suspension are the cheapest but also the best adjustments you can make to your bike. |
