The K-Tech shock is legit. It's really, really good. You may as well complete the bike and get the forks done. It's worth it. Thanks for the feedback on the voiceover, trying something different. Speaking of the Q3s I plan to do a video soon talking about the difference of the Pirelli Supercorsa SP V2 compared to the Dunlops. Thanks for watching and ride safe, and enjoy riding that new K-Tech shock.

Yeah it's certainly a lot different. Maybe it'll work for you to join us next time. There is a good chance our crew may be at VIR.

Hey thanks for the great feedback. Awesome to hear you ride an 09' The suspension really changes the handling characteristics of the bike and it's easier to ride with the aftermarket kit installed. I have considered running a chin mount on my spare helmet. I do not want that mounted on my AGV Corsa. I will play around with some different options and may run a different mount on a few rides. Thanks for watching and really appreciate you checking out the channel. Ride safe.

Hey thanks. Appreciate you checking out the video.

Hey man, thanks for checking out the video. Smooth is the perfect word to describe the new setup. It's a lot of fun to ride for sure. Appreciate the comment and ride safe.

Hey man, thanks! We all need to get together for dinner and beers here soon.

Appreciate you giving some positive feedback. Thanks for watching the channel. Ride safe.

Thanks for the feedback. I will do a video like that next time I ride. Appreciate you watching and thanks for checking out the channel. Ride safe.

Appreciate the positive feedback. Thanks for checking out the video.

Hey thanks for the comment. The GoPro is mounted on the tank just behind the gas cap via a suction cup mount.

Thanks for the feedback and for checking out the video. It's a Puig Sport screen. They offer a taller Touring screen but I run the Sport version. I bought mine through Revzilla.

Thanks for watching man. Glad to hear you got something from it.

Awesome, thanks for the great feedback. This bike could benefit from a steering damper. The main reason is that the stock shock wants to squat under hard acceleration and that makes the front end get really light when the weight shifts to the rear wheel. But since I installed the new K-Tech rear shock, when you get on the throttle the bike just hooks up and the tendency to squat is eliminated so the need for the damper is not as great. However, some of the roads we ride in the mountains can get really bumpy so I have not ruled out the purchase of a damper in the future. The voiceover is something new and I may try a few more on future videos. Thanks for watching the channel and ride safe.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Appreciate you checking out the channel watching the video. This is a set of tires I had run from a trackday. I typically run Q3s on the street but if the weather is warm these are hands down a better tire than the Dunlops. The second difference between these tires and anything you mentioned is not only the grip level but the tire profile is better for mountain riding. I do zero commuting on this bike so I would rather have excellent grip, mileage and wet weather riding are not something I am concerned with. I checked out your channel but it looks like you don't have any uploaded videos, you ride an FZ09?

ya, i just bought the new 2017 model, but im not a "youtuber"/video producer just a rider and video consumer. I am so happy with the engine, frame, brakes and the hooligan seating position of the FZ-09 but im not really satisfied with the suspension. I am getting a fully adjustable damper, individually build for my weight (im heavy ^^), at the 600 mile inspection in 4 days... so excited ! I'm from Germany and our "windy" roads are much windier and narrower with a lot of small corners. Therefore you are doing a lot of lean angle while going not all that fast, even the small bumps upset the fz-09 in that corners a lot ! That is why i watched your video to get some input how a suspension upgrade might change the bike. For an example of a german "canyon road" see: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fMl2gKWn0aymcWg.html If you get the chance try a Continental Road Attack 3 its such a great tire for really agressive street riding.

Just done this and it’s very good if not excellent so worth it you feel the bike is on rails going round corners you feel the road and you know exactly what is happening with the bike the tyres. Amazing seriously

That's a great idea. I think I ma do just that. Appreciate the feedback and thanks again for watching the channel. Ride safe.

So yeah good thing you got that upgraded suspension :0 By the way, did you also upgrade the brakes on your fz-09?

I have Spiegler stainless braided lines, EBC HH pads, and Motul fluid, my shit stops on a dime.

I also run an adjustable ASV front brake lever.

OfficeBear The XSR900 has less adjustable suspension than the FZ-09 does!

Either way those bikes aren't for me. Too many mods required to make them feel like a proper bike for the twisties.
