 Treated the bike to a little love as itâs just clocked up 75k miles. Striped and rebuilt the forks. They were due an oil change having covered an out 13k since the last one (last July) and I wanted to adjust the compression a little just to soften it up a bit.
Â
New bushes, new seals, new Motul 10w fork oil, down to 1 turn of preload on the emulators and raised 8mm through the yokes with 5 turns of spring preload. Back to the really sweet, plush, neutral handling again and definitely feeling more grippy on the front.Â
Â
Nearly time to get the rear shock rebuilt, so thatâll be next.Â
