Ted Spring Kit

I fitted the front fork upgrade kit to my street cup. This includes progressive springs and top pre-load adjusters.

What I did not like about the standard set up was the excessive dive under braking and the spring just seeming to be too soft.
The upgrade has solved the excessive dive and although still not the best in the world the ride is much improved. The adjusters are handy, and easy to use, to dial in the ride how you like it.

Fitting was pretty straight forward but I did have to take the bars off as they were in the way of getting the springs in and out. Rather than disconnect everything I just lifted the whole lot via a strap fixed to the garage roof. May not have this problem with your bike as the cup has the ace bars.
One thing to remember, and it wasn't in the instructions, is to slacken off the top yolk clamp bolts as you won't undo the top nuts if you don't.
All in all I found it a worthwhile upgrade.

 

Very decent upgrade. Certainly made a big difference to my T120 handling. Easy to fit. Only criticism is that the plastic spacers that come with the springs are not great quality. Mine were different lengths and roughy cut, also thinner than the original spacers. I got them replaced by TEC who supplied two of the same length. Despite this criticism they work perfectly well. I am though considering having the original spacers cut down to the length required for the progressives.

 

Hi Jells, being an existing customer of TEC when they saw the popularity of the Yamaha Tracer MT-07 and I bought one they sent me a set to test and report back on.

I found it truly simple change to remove the OE springs and install the new TEC progressive ones with the adjustable spring tops.

I found them to be a significant & worthwhile improvement, and surprisingly when you change the settings you can really feel the difference !! Less dive on braking, comfort improved and confidence through bends much higher.

Well worth the money imo.

 

You can fit the std. tops but honestly you won't get the best out of the new springs without the adjustable ones.

 

Hi Russ

I just let the oil drain off the old springs, I tied them up so I could leave them to drain for a while, before just dropping the new springs in
