MT07 / XSR700 / Tracer700 – Front Fork upgrade kit – Progressive Springs and fork top pre-load/ride height adjusters

Fast despatch even with economy shipping selected. Components slightly different from instructional video. But after fitting very happy with the results.

2018 Tracer 700 springs. All these years I’ve been teetering around corners with no confidence in front end, thinking it’s all me. Well it’s not! These springs are a simple but brilliant upgrade and worth every penny. They change the front end completely. Good service and quick delivery. I’d give them 6 stars if I could.

At this price it's almost rude not to upgrade your fork springs given the benefits. Has made a big difference to the ride and stability of the bike giving me more confidence in corners. Fork dive under braking very much diminished. Super easy to fit to my 2018 Tracer 700, I didn't need to move anything to get the old ones out and the new ones in. You definitely need a telescopic magnet tool to remove the washers and old springs, you also need to loosen the pinch bolts on the fork heads as stated in other reviews but not mentioned in the video guide.

Tried 600 miles on standard new suspension before fitting new springs. Big difference with front end not diving so much. Bike feels nice and planted, and not harsh over bumps. Good improvement.

I'd read that this would make a huge difference in combating the nose dive issue for the MT07, but just how much it changed was a pleasant surprise. This upgrade has given me entirely new confidence in my front suspension when riding and the adjustability is solid, allowing for my 200lb self to find a comfortable yet responsive setting. My 1 and only issue would be that the beautiful black gloss finish on the adjusters is very easily scraped away. Now full disclosure, I was in such a hurry to install this upgrade I used my everyday mechanic tool kit to do so. It's seen much abuse and any protective coating it had is long gone. I definitely could've been more cautious when installing. I've gotten over this issue simply because the performance is so good that the paint condition almost doesnt matter.

Easy to fit, all done in under 30 minutes. Have to say the forks are so much better now, no longer squishy, bike holds up better in corners and under braking. If your wondering whether to buy or not, just do it... so much better.

Excellent service and delivered before expected date. Springs fitted as shown in video. I have also changed the fork oil while changing the springs. Have yet to test the bike with them now fitted.

This kit gives a definite improvement to the feel of the bike compared to standard, it feels more controlled under braking and gives a smoother ride in general, the pre-load adjusters enable you to set up how the bike steers for either a fast turn in or a more relaxed turn in with better straight line stability. However, it doesn't cure the the bikes inability to deal with sudden harsh bumps and these will still unsettle the bike and even throw it off line if you hit one entering a bend, but this is a damping problem rather than a spring one. I intend to buy the fork emulator valves next which have an adjustable relief valve on them for the high speed damping which should allow this problem to be solved or at least improved, but that's another story. Regarding this spring and adjuster kit I would say it's well worth the money and time for the improvement it gives. Speaking of time it is easy to fit and on my Tracer I didn't need to move the handlebars or anything else to get the springs in and out. Don't forget to loosen the pinch bolts on the top yokes or you won't get the fork caps undone, it didn't mention that in the video. Brian Greenwood.

Hello, Tec Bike! Got my suspension kit from you the 8 of September. Absolutely a great improvment, l must say. ☺️ Both adjusters and springs is working perfect. 👍 Thank you so much! Best regards! Görgen Håkansson Sweden

Bike: XSR700 2021 Installation: It was very easy to install (thanks to the youtube installation clip), 10 minute job. The motorcycle truly feels like a different bike, it is definitely more planted and stable at high speeds and when cornering. I also feel the difference when manouvering at slow speeds and the nose doesn't dive so much when braking hard. I wish I had done this upgrade earlier, it's money well spent! I love the fact that I can adjust the pre-load but for the moment I'm going to leave as it is as I'm happy how the bike rides. I'm also upgrading the rear shock to a YSS Top Line, I will get it installed next week, I can't wait to have the rear suspension too fixed up (the OEM is not great)! 5 stars to the TEC Team for their customer service and help with the delivery to Portugal!

The kit firmed up the front v nicely. Damping still isn't improved of course but a great improvement nevertheless

This has transformed the front end on my mt 07,these springs have hugely improved the handling on my bike,no more excessive diving under heavy braking, tracks better through corners too, just need to sort out the mushy rear end now. Thanks tec bike parts👍

After watching your video on the progressive fork springs for the mto7/ tracer I decided I had to do the change. I had always commented on how soft the tracer was but thought it was me because I had a speed triple previously for 6 years. It was an easy job to do one evening, luck was on my side the next day was sunny and dry I couldn’t believe the difference these springs had made, no dipping when changing gear and smoother down force when braking, made the bike even more enjoyable to ride. The good value springs had done the job just right, for me. I would recommend them to anyone . You don’t have to buy more expensive ones that do the same job👍👍

Hi these are for my wife's MT07 I have them on my MT 07 which she has ridden and notice the difference over her stock suspension so I got them her for Christmas present what a romantic :) She has a Tec 2 into 1 on her bike its brilliant & fitted well but very loward, I was thinking of a mid baffle but reading reviews they rattle in the exhaust can you comment on this? Your products are brilliant and recommend you to other bikers. Regards Tim Fox 07793218878

MT07 / XSR700 / Tracer700 - Front Fork upgrade kit - Progressive Springs and fork top pre-load/ride height adjusters

Good product, easy to fit and quality is fine. Will try a ride when the weather allows

Excellent product ordered after watching there video on YouTube

Love my Tracer700 but felt the front dived a bit under braking and ride quality could be improved over rougher roads. TEC kit was very easy to fit and I used good good quality fork oil too. On my very first ride the difference was noticeable instantly. Less dive on brakes which actually improved brake feel and stopping. Better bump absorption too. Perfect 👌👌👌

Got to be the easiest accessory I have ever fitted. Waiting until the salt has gone before I test them. Black anodised finish to to nuts looks good but is very easy to scratch off. I suggest you protect the finish when fitted and adjusting. Great value for the money. Very pleased with my purchase.

Recommended, easy install and has reduced front end dive when braking. Also going around roundabouts feels so much more in control and stable, could be due to better sag from the preload caps

front springs and caps, parts seem great quality, fitting was easy and the bike is so much better

Set up suspension and a real difference in handling. Cheers guys....

Great value front suspension upgrade that works beautifully. Nicer ride quality with less dive on the brakes. Perfect!

Not had chance to fit them yet. Good service & came on date promised. Kit looks as good as it does in the promo & fitting guide video. Can’t wait to try them ✌🏼

Part arrived well packaged & in about 6 days. A little more info on how the order is progressing would be good. Not fitted the parts yet, but they look really good.

Great upgrade to my recently acquired 2014 MT07. Easy to install and a much more responsive, confident ride. Shipped to NZ, it was far easier than I thought the process was going to be.

What a difference. The Tracer 700 feels so much more comfortable. Making a great bike feel even better. The Guys at TEC were very helpful with queries and very very prompt. Cheers Jeff

Having already purchased an exhaust from tec last year when it came to the forks it was an easy decision. They arrived very quickly and were very straightforward to fit.i also changed my fork oil and everything feels much firmer no more pogo stick! The service that i have received from tec has been excellent and would happily use them again. (Perhaps a quieter exhaust baffle 🙂).

Really happy that I found TEC and ordered the uprated springs for my MT-07. Installation was a breeze, the components are high quality and visible components (adjustable top caps) look great on the bike. The shortened springs are a bonus so you don't have to cut the spacer tubes which I felt very reluctant to do. Also very happy with the handling of the bike, looking forward to a road trip to fully experience the new springs. Thanks also for the fast shipping.

Installation of the new progressive springs and caps was very easy. I have not had a chance to ride the bike (2019 MT07) since installing them but going by the previous reviews, they are much better than stock and good quality. Recommend watching the TEC install video on YouTube for guidance and setting the correct preload height in the top caps as the springs are shorter than the stock ones. Great service from TEC and very helpful via emails. Thank you!

The kit was easy to fit thanks to the video with the instructions. I had a short test ride and the difference with the stock springs is massive. No more dive under braking and feel way more sharp in corners. Totally recommended! Just be careful with the top caps since they get easily scratched

Excellent service,very pleased with the items, information on fitting on website is very clear and helpful!

Various blogs and vids suggest the Std Tracer 700 front fork springs could be better, I went for these from Tec Parts based on reviews, the YouTube vid is a bit out of date as the adjusters are different but in keeping with the style of what’s removed. I haven’t found that sweet spot yet but I can confirm the front now has bite on cornering which was the reason I wanted better fork springs as the bike used to hop in a bend!, I am confident in my purchase and would recommend this inexpensive upgrade. This team don’t claim to give you a product that’s not been tried and tested, can we have more please 😉

Can't fault them, they work just like they say. I've done 500miles since fitting them and the feel you get is astonishing. I like the more relaxed longer fork.super quick delivery. Spot on.

Quick delivery and simple to install. I fitted these along with changing the fork oil to 20w which suits my weight and have noticed a massive difference. Much less fork dive under braking and a lot more stable in corners. Very happy with this 👍

Very quick delivery and great after service and advise. Haven't been able to test yet due to lockdown. Very easy to fit.

Just fitted to my XSR700. Very quick delivery and quality looks fine. Nice easy job, only needed to remove the two speedo screws and slacken the four handlebar clamp bolts to gain sufficient access to the fork caps. I put the rear end on a paddock stand and used a scissor jack and piece of wood under the sump to ease the compression in the suspension before removing the fork caps. Don’t forget to put the O ring from the old caps onto new ones. Be careful, when tightening the new caps as the anodising can scratch quite easily. I haven’t managed a run out yet, but going by the previous comments I’m looking forward to feeling the difference.

Very quick to post really good communication parts are quality would recommend this company

Super simple to fit and set up, and has totally transformed the bike. Absolutely night and day difference to the handling, so much more stable into the bends.

The parts are as described and look like they are of good quality. Haven't installed yet. The response and shipping was very fast! Only downside it the wrapping. I was expecting a cardboard box with some soft material inside for metal motorcycle parts. Instead it was in a heavy-duty envelope but because the springs are stiff and heavy the edges of the envelope were destroyed and and also the plastic bag inside that contained them. it would be easy for a sprint to slip from inside. The top caps were better protected.

Took all of 20 mins to fit thanks to the handy video and wow what a difference this makes. The bike no longer wallows into bends, the front feels like it's on rails. Compared to the factory set up.

After fitting a set of Tec progressive front springs to my 2020 Speedtwin , I was so impressed iv'e now fitted a set to my 2019 Tracer

Arrived quickly,looks good quality will try and fit at the weekend

Great delivery service. Followed the YouTube fitting video, Easy to follow and good tips. So fitting no problem. Not having a trolley jack, supporting the bike needed care. Just to needed to get out and give the bike a road test! Cheers Harry

Another excellent TEC product. Quick delivery. Very easy installation. And what a positive difference on the road. Increased stability under braking. Improved road feel. Much more stable in the bends. Brilliant. But no red bow on it.....!

Happy with product very easy to install great price.

Excellent service from TEC - springs were easy to fit and have made a noticeable difference to the ride quality on my MT 07 - much more stable and predictable front end, especially under braking, and easily able to absorb sudden dips in the road surface, etc- well impressed!

I didnt believed that this progressive shocks could make such a big Diference. I am very happy with them, the bike feels a lot more stable. Cheers
