FZRSupport: the FZROnline Archive

Hey guys just got my fzr kast week and I finally got it out for a ride saturday The transmission performed well and the motor was smooth through and through the tac.But when it came time to apply harder braking I experienced a lot of dive.It didn't bottom out but just didn't feel normal to me.I've had a few bikes and alk were equiped with anti dive valves so I'm uncertain if I'm experiencing normal dive or if I need to change the fork oil up.? I'd say the travel was better than half the stroke of the front tubes and I was traveling about 30 mph to a stand still.

Totally normal for the FZR. The stock (I assume you still have stock) front springs are way soft. You'll probably want to replace the front springs with something more adequate.

Thanks Pefrey appreciate the info I have a few different fork and tree set ups laying around I may get creative

i'm looking for something stiffer too.

any recommendations?

Racetech has a calculator on their website that's useful for finding the right spring rate. I have some of theirs and it's a world of difference, particularly on ruff pavement.
