Hey Nick! Love the new intro. The monster suspension is still phenomenal. Even the girlfriend comments how nice it rides compared to my other sport bike.
Yea the 848. Its not exactly plush, but its got the best feeling factory suspension I've had on any bike I've owned. They have a pretty aggressive riding position but I don't mind it for a few hours on nice days. Works great on the track though! I'f I could swing it I'd have you work your magic on that bike also.
Hey Nick, I bought a rear brake reservoir relocation kit from you guys a while back. Your product fits perfectly and the customer service was top grade. "Dodge Rider" on TH-cam posted a cinematic bike review of my 14' FZ09 on his channel yesterday actually. Check it out if you get a chance, your product is in a lot of the slow panning shots he did. Looks pretty cool. Great product and your company is awesome. Keep up the great work and ride safe.
I got a triple clicker recently...........which adjustment is for high speed damping and which one is low speed damping ? There's an "upper" nut and a "lower" nut coming out of the reservoir .
So I was wondering if the Tripple clicker for the Fz09 would accommodate a lighter weight rider? I’m about 140 lbs with my gear on and 5’9” with a shorter inseam. Can the ride height be set to a (lower than stock setting) while having the shock tuned for aggressive street riding and occasional track use? i feel with about 3/4 to 1” lower than stock ride height would allow me to comfortably flat foot the bike. I would hate to sacrifice handling by installing lowering links. Info would be greatly appreciated!
We can spring and valve the shock for whatever rider weight required! You're not the lightest we've done... These shocks are the same length as the stock shock at the shortest condition; the ride height adjustment adds to the overall length. Lowering the bike is possible with the shock, but frankly, it's best to make the change you need with a new pair of dog bones. The shock won't end up being a custom build (saves you money up front and down the road when you sell) and if you didn't like the revised height, you could easily swap back to the stock dog bones without having to mess with the shock.
Stoltec Moto I appreciate the quick response! Happy to hear that I have some options. So with a set of dog bones, The shock could be tuned to work in conjunction with the added spring compression? I always hear horror stories of the ride quality being sacrificed when lowering the rear suspension. I’m only talking an inch tops. Just enough to flat foot with a slight bend in my knee at rider sag height so my nuts aren’t crushed every time I have to put my feet down to maneuver the bike in parking situations. Lol.
Lowering the bike will definitely change a lot about how the bike handles...don't mistake the above response. Changing the swingarm angle will affect anti-squat, CG height, wheelbase length, and you'll need to compensate some changes up front. An inch is going to be pushing the boundaries...but it's doable. Or, I should say, it's been done. It'll come with compromises, but your comfort and confidence are worth something in the grand scheme of things. I have a very much lowered KTM 250 EXC that I personally own...it was a necessity for my 5'9" self in the woods.
Great video, already have my Double clicker installed and it working great! Thanks for rushing the order for me and getting my suspension to me quick.

Thanks, I was pretty happy with the result, too. What's the 'other'? Your 848? Comfort and 848 don't even below in the same sentence!

Bike looks great! Nice job - thanks for the heads up!

Low speed is in the middle (usually silver). High speed is the outer hex nut.
Is there a hydraulic remote spring preload adjuster available?
We are developing one with Penske now. Eta forthcoming!

Great video, to the point no messing around. 👍
