Nope - that's one that is on my list to do.

FZS600 Fazer / Re: front suspension upgrade
« Last post by Alexander_V on 28 May 2024, 05:01:17 pm »Hello guys,
Thanks for all the replies and comments. I decided to go with the Andreani Misano Evo Fork Cartridge Kit in the end. I think if I am keeping the bike and I want to upgrade it good, I can spend the money, I will try these out. I am actually very excited about that as this is the first upgrade I am doing to my mike. Next one and it won't be long is the rear shock of course.
Thanks again guys.
Cheers

A set of progressive springs to cater for you weight and all riding options with 10w Synthetic oil will usually sort the front. A reasonably priced Hagon Shock at the rear with a progressive spring again to cater for your weight and all riding options will fix the rear.Switch to Sports tyres or the new type good Sports Touring tyres.
These were actually there in the bike, progressive forks (not sure if stock) and 10w oil. I kind of want better performance in high speed bumps so I was considering the two options.
Because I really like this motorcycle I would like to improve it wherever possible and am planning on keeping it for good.

« Last post by Alexander_V on 28 May 2024, 04:50:06 pm »Your personal body weight (with all your bike gear on), any luggage or top box, and whether you ever take passengers can obviously alter things, but when i changed mine from 10w to 15w oil for the fist time i found the difference a lot better with much more solid and predictable handling.
My large top box is at least half full most of the time though, and i'm not exactly the smallest build physically.
So I changed it last spring and used 10w oil. I am around 87 with bike clothes on, I carry no luggage and ride with no passengers.. Pure fun only hahah

QuoteI find the bike sometimes gives me an unstable feel,is that from coming from another bike that did give you stable feel.
depending on your weight - as unfazed says all you perhaps need to do is refurb them with new oil. Most people seem to sort out the rear before or if at all touching the front.
Reading all that I can it may have been because of low preload, tightened it a bit and it is way better. However the tightness I feel on high speed bumps stays, the suspension is not the same as when slow speed bumps occur. I read that this is because there are no shim stacks as in the forks with cartridges, since it has a damper rod..
