Speed Triple 2010 front suspension upgrades

Hi Guys,

I am looking at upgrading the original front suspension on my Triple - just the springs and cartridges, not the whole unit. At the moment the front is heavily preloaded which has reduced travel!

My rear shock is a Nitron R3, but they don't do front suspension...yet! They said they are rolling out front suspension over this year and may not have a Triumph Speed Triple solution until this summer.
They recommended Adreani (FTR Suspension) as a possible replacement system, the techie at Nitron had heard very good feedback on them. Do any of you guys have info on their product.

Any other provider that I could consider?
I have looked at K-Tech but they are quite far, (I am just west of London)

 

Bumping this thread...
Does anyone have any experience of upgrading their front suspension?
If so, what are your thoughts on the parts and suppliers you used?

 

So, my Speed Triple 1050 2010 is booked into FTR Suspension for K-Tech pistons and spring set upgrades.
Is anyone near Braintree CM7 5JQ on Tue 23rd... it would be good to meet up with anyone in the area.

 

Ahh bugger, I am paying a little under that for the pistons, springs and overhaul. I wanted the Andreani cartridges, but they don't make them for the 2010 bike now as it is old!!!

The front system is a bit odd, I would have much preferred new cartridges with compression and rebound in both legs

Deposit has been paid too.

Thanks for the reply though.

 

Had the forks done on Tuesday and in the ride home realised something wasn't right.
In my 'excitement' I left without FTR suspension properly checking the rebound and compression! The front was bouncing like a pogo stick, I tried increasing rebound all the way in but it had no effect. It seems not enough oil had been put in, looking at the notes they gave me the oil was filled to 150mm from top of tube with 5w oil. Haynes manual says it should be 114mm and 10w oil! So the pistons/valves aren't in the oil! They said I would need to either post the forks or ride back to them to resolve it, but I don't fancy another day off work, 150 miles trip and £30 of fuel. I am sure I can sort this myself by topping up with more oil.

Am I okay to top it up with 5w or should I replace the lot with 10w, the springs are harder for my weight which helps a lot and the pistons/valves allow better setting up, or should I return to the suspension guys?

 

Cheers BL
Had a reply from FTR Suspension and they suggest adding 30ml of 5w in each fork, I can do that over this weekend
If more is needed I can do, it is easier to add rather than take out
