Hi guys,
So after owning this bike for 2 years I decided it's time for an upgrade and changed the shock and the fork cartridges. After some research this is what I went with:
https://www.omniaracing.net/en/andreani-kit-advanced-cartridge-shock-absorber-ohlins-for-yamaha-2014-p-20144.html
I'll try to express here a few thoughts to the best of my abilities.
All the installment was done at my Yamaha dealership. The shock can be swapped pretty easy. The cartridges however need some more specialized work and the use of a lathe machine. If someone wants I can add a pic of the manual.
The setup as the guys from the dealership told me was ''standard'' and supposed to fit me for my daily riding (I'm 183 and weigh 87 kg). However after just a quick ride I had to adjust the compression and soften the shock as it was way too stiff. I'm quite new to having this level of adjustability on my bike so I'm still tinkering to find out what works best. After 2 days of riding I can say the front is like from a different bike and the back seems to be much better. Still need to experiment more but so far I'm very pleased with the changes.
