This is exactly the video I've been searching for in reference to my street setup. Dave Moss is great at what he does, but you have more effectively and thoroughly communicated in one video what I couldn't retain from the bits and pieces I could gather from his numerous clips. I think you have made his videos more understandable and enjoyable foe me. More importantly I feel like I can tackle the job myself with confidence. This is the way.

Glad it was helpful!

This was the best suspension set up video. And I think I watched all of them, I finally understand what each part does and what to do with it

Pretty cool video. Thanks for being transparent about your methodology and making this knowledge available for free.

You do know what you are talking about. Very clear and patient. I'll definitely give it a try ! Thanks man

Getting my 2017 FZ09 in a few weeks. Your videos are a goldmine for a new FZ09 owner. Thanks for 1st class info.

Brilliant! Just got my mt09 yesterday and the ride home was... interesting... so I know what I'm doing tomorrow. Setting up my suspension. Thank you.

Very helpful, thanks. I just bought a 2018 MT09 and now I know how to set up my suspension.

very helpful and practical, thorough and good to understand. thank you from Vancouver Canada . love the red FZ09

Very clear and precise. Much appreciated. You're a very patient guy.

I have just set up the suspension on a newly purchased Honad Cross tourer and it has made a huge difference to the ride. Thanks for the very concise method.

One of the best instructional videos I have seen on KZread. Great job. My XSR900 was murder to ride. Now its fantastic. Thanks man :)

Now I feel comfortable and confident to set up all my suspension on my 17 FZ-09! Thank you👍

Thanks a lot man. That was an awesome video. As a new rider myself, you helped me a lot in understanding how the suspension works and is adjusted. Keep at it!

Thank you so much for this video! As a new 2017 FZ-09 owner, this was super helpful. I just started going on spirited canyon rides in the twisties and the factory suspension settings were not very confidence inspiring. I'm only 170 lbs but definitely still needed to make some adjustments. Your video is much appreciated!

I have watched many videos on this topic in search of a basic understanding of setting up my bike properly. This is BY FAR the best one.

I have the same color FZ-09 and pretty much the same mods with just a couple exceptions (Penske DC rear shock and front forks). This video was the best I have seen in setting the suspension and helped me dial it in for the Fz. Ride strong and ride safe!

Best suspension video I have seen, thank you for taking the time to make it!

I use to watch a bunch of your cigar reviews when I was smoking cigars. I knew I saw you somewhere. Keep up the passions and the good work.

Just wanted to say thanks for the video. Bought a Speed Twin this year and over the winter months I'm installing a fully adjustable suspension front and rear and will be back to this video multiple times for the setup instructions.

Amazing video and was very helpful, I bought my MT-09 2017 six month ago and found the suspension very bouncy due to it being at factory settings. Now my bike is setup up for me and handles great!! Thanks :)

I've been modding bike suspension for a good many years, your explanations are clear simple and very instructive. I'm happy that you help to debunk the myth of "factory settings". I'm happy to recommend this tutorial to anyone starting out on setting suspension, the majority of riders are woefully clueless. Good stuff!

Thanks for this tutorial! When i get my MT 09 i will do this to get the right settings.

Thanks for the very helpful video! I'm 202lb and front forks were at 8 1/2 for a 30%. I love that I can watch you work on your bike. It's like watching you work on mine so it makes it easy

I definitely subscribed. He actually explains everything, without me having to pay him to.

This is the most informative video about suspension setup on KZread.

For sure the best street suspension adjustment video. Thank you very much for you time sir!

I learned a lot from this video. I thought my MT-09 felt pretty good but wanted to try to improve that nasty brake dive and the bounciness on the rear. I had no idea how bad it was until I set everything correctly. What a difference. It’s soooo much more planted at higher speeds now, it’s great, thanks!

The best tutorial about suspension setup

Thank you so much. I used your video today to guide me with my 2022 MT-09 and the bike handles like a dream. What a difference. My first time doing suspension. The numbers were different 5.1 front 4.8 rear but used your math and adjusted for the difference. You rock

Just out day two on my new FJR , bike is great but I know it needs lots of changes in suspension. Thank you in advance for the wonderful detailed how to, it will be immensely useful.

Amazing video! I just finished doing my MT09, and its like another bike... way more in control. Thank you!

i'm saving up for the mt09 and because i'm a short lightweight rider it's very nice to see how this bike's suspension works so i can set it up for myself! great video thanks!!

I really like that you've shown things with all preload out, all dampening out, etc - really nice to see that versus when you have it set. This is a WELL done video. Long time fan, really appreciate you doing this one in particular.

Thank you for this video! I just did the setup on my 2015 MT09 Tracer. I own it for a month now and it felt too soft on the front. It was on the standard setup, way too soft for me. I used your way to do the measurements. Really helpful to me! Greetings from the Netherlands.

I watch Cigar Obsession from time to time, was delighted to stumble across this channel as well! Thanks for the great info Brian!

The most clearing and understandable vidéo to adjust bises suspension. Thx à lot from France!

What an awesome video! You've done a great job of explaining the whole process and what each control does. I have personally learned a lot from your video as I never understood the 'voodoo magic' of suspension and exactly how it works until now. Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. I'm sure it has helped a lot of people other than myself. Well done!

Great job Brian Definitely one of the best explanations I have seen yet.

I have a Tracer900, and this videó helped me to adjust the suspension to my weight. I am not a fast driver, but with this modification, it makes a huge difference.

Gold! Best explanation I could find. Thanks for caring and sharing!

Thanks for this mate! Just set up my new (to me) 2017 MT09 here in Australia. Great video, clear instructions and good pointers! Much appreciated. 👍

Bought a 2022 MT09 and followed this video while setting up my suspension. Let me just say the difference is astounding the bike now settles into corners better the feel and control on the road it is night and day. Thanks for a great video for a newb like me.

Thank you for simplifying a simple process .

Best suspension setup video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Brilliant!

Glad to see the new mt come with more adjustability my 14’ only had one or two

Thank you (again) for the suspension video!!! That information is priceless! My bike is so much better and safer through curves, stops/braking and especially general riding altogether. I currently weigh about 30 lbs more than you (down from an enormous 348lbs) and still eating healthy small portions and losing weight fast, so I’ll probably be readjusting it again soon. The tremendous difference of before (off the showroom floor) and after, can only be described as purely epic. Maybe one day I will upgrade the suspension, but the stock suspension on the 2018 is very good, I just need that Yamaha Comfort Seat. Talked to my dealer and it’ll be here in 4 days. So happy with this bike. The fun is truly limitless!

Hi Brian juat wanted to send you a shout out for the great work that you are doing and a thank you. i have the same bike and color since April of 2017 and loving every minute of it. By far the most fun i've had on any bike i owned from riding to modifing to maintaining it. Thanks for the great videos and keep them coming.

If there was an Olympic category for bike settings you would get the Gold Medal. Thank you for the time.

Lol i love your videos legit the only guy i watch when i have any issues with my fjr. I just installed a quick shifter from one of your other videos and can’t wait to tune my suspension

Finally found a good video on suspension. Thanks man 👍

Found this video, at work rn but imma follow this to a T this weekend and get nice and dialed in, thanks dood..

Hi TwoWheelObsession, thank you for the wonderful videos I am learning a lot from you. I am from Australia and getting my new MT 09 in two weeks time so excited keep up the wonderful videos on useful information!

Outstanding video. As an owner of a 17 MT09 I am loving these videos!

@@TwoWheelObsession is the 2019 model the exact same in suspension front and back?

Have a similar bike and followed his instructions. Made a huge improvement! Like he said keep an open end and screwdriver in your pocket find a windy road with some bumps and stop adjust ride over and over to get it just right. For my Tracer 900 GT from factory settings i wound up increasing preload, front and rear. Increasing compression in the front and reducing or screwing in rebound front and rear.

Absolutely great. You get better and better at explaining things.

+Daniel Graham thx! I've gone long, short, think I've settled in between.

Good work Brian and like everyone else thanks for the videos. I'm about to take delivery of a 2017 MT/FZ 09 and your videos are very helpful. Please keep the videos coming :)

I believe everything has already been said, your video is awesome! I've been waiting for a while to do this but now I feel I have the proper knowledge to do it by myself. Thank you for sharing. One small tip though, I believe that the best way to get the rider sag measurement should be taken with the rider equipment on. Keep up with this awesome work!

Best in Suspension adjustments video for MT-09, look no further. I just bought new MT09 from dealer, on the road back to home, notice the suspension react to road bumps was so bad, like old car that need replace struts. Followed your procedure, did all adjustments, then test drive. Man, it is day and night difference, now drive it feels like drive a new car. Thank you so much!

This video is really helpfull for someone who is beginner! Thanks a lot

That was such a helpful video. I look forward to setting up my 2016 FJ-09.

informative and very easy to understand. I appreciate the time and effort to make this video!

Dude! Awesome explanation. Very precise and thought out. THANK YOU!

Great easy to follow directions. Thank you very much.

Best suspension video I’ve seen

That explains why my old bike was like a pogo stick on bumpy bends… I think I’ll take it to someone and just pay them to set it up… great video, I’d have to watch it another couple of times to understand all the different parts correctly and then maybe give it a go. I’m just worried of making it feel worse having never done it before and only being on my second bike. Very informative! Top man Bry. 🇬🇧

Excellent video. So glad I found it. I have 2017 fz09 so this was perfect for me.

Amazing video, just bought New mt09, and exploring to learn this and came to your channel, going to try it now, thx, and greets from Serbia 💪

Wow, great video. Thanks for taking your time. I've got mt 10 i think is just too hard on the shock. Thanks again

Thank You very much for such a comprehensive explanation

Best suspension video in the world...

Great video will be doing so this weekend I had a close call with the bike wobbling at a decent speed I almost lost it because my suspension was to soft

Very well done video, thank you, I am going to follow this on my new FZ-10

Very informative, and simple. Great video. Thanks.

Thank you for this, I actually learned so much here!

Awesome video! Thank you so much for the information. Keep up the great work!

awesome! thanks for the vid! been wanting to tune up my 2017 fz09

Great tutorial! Very informative

Just set my tracer 900 2017 up by your video it was miles out but seems way better up now, just need to go for a run

Another great video. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. Very well explained.

Thank you from the UK for an easy to understand video, most other people try to make something into a science when it's not! Oh and nice new ride btw! Looking forward to some more videos :)

Can't wait to go home and use this with my new mt09 sp. You took a lot of my fear of adjusting out of the way.

Very good video , clear and very simply put , one thing i will say the fork's are fully adjustable and having comp in fork and rebound in the other is a better way of doing it as the oil only has one job to do in each leg , on forks with comp and rebound in both legs you'll get rebound at top and comp at bottom so it has much more going on inside the fork and doesn't work as well , keeping it separate is a much better design. Thanks again . keep up the great video's 😉

Very detailed…I imagine itll take me (anyone new to this ) a lil bit of trial and error till I’m able to feel the differences during set up. Also imagine I’ll have to rewatch a few Times till (& while doin )I’ve done it enough Where it just makes sense step-by-step ….was always afraid to make any of these type of adjustments back in the day, as I was afraid I’d screw things up. Mark another win for KZread. Lol.

EXCELLENT VIDEO !!!

I ended up 3.75 in front preload, 5 clicks out from full tight for both comp and rebound... 1/2 turn out on rear shock for rebound and left the sag alone because my inseam is just 30".I am sad about the comfort seat being to inseam restricted also. Japanese guys are so short IDK why the bikes are made for tall dudes only? Thanks

Great video, thanks!

Thanks for doing this guide. Had very little knowledge on this and turns out my sag was not the same on both sides. I had a slight oscillation in the front at high speed, and after correctly setting the sag and other settings on my XSR900 the oscillation is gone. Thanks again!
