Suspension

[getagrp1k]

Did Yamaha upgrade the suspension for 06-09 or is it the same. Does anybody know the spring KG on the 08 front and rear?

there is a model comparison on the site. I have an '08 and I as far as i know they have not. The stock is not bad, if adjusted but I am a big believer in great suspension and will be adding some mods. It is hard to make a one size fits all, due to rider size, 1 up or 2 up, style of rider etc.

I've just fitted an Ohlins rear shock to my 07 bike

Andy,

Since you live in the neighborhood, next time your in Sweden, maybe swing by the Ohlins factory and ask them to hurry up with mine. It's been order for over a month and I'm tired of reading about how great they handle

Actually Sweden is only a couple of hundred miles away as the crow flies, bugger to get to, though. I just love you Yanks who think of nothing travel across your country

Can you turn an FJR into an amphibian to deal with those little water crossings, like, oceans?
