Front suspension?
#70
(11-08-2014, 05:10 AM)bustin dailey_imp Wrote: Little thread revival here...

So has anyone weighing over 200 pounds made any specific changes to either the springs, fluid level/weight, or rear shocks that has made the bike handle better for them?

I know the bike isn't right.. I've dropped it once in a parking lot, and that knocked the bars out of whack, so I have a feeling whenever I take the forks off to install my gaiters, I can drain the fluid and realign things and hopefully get the bike feeling a bit more right.

Would really like to change out the springs if I can while doing this, just because it would be easier.. I've sent off a couple of emails to try and get recommendations for my weight that won't break the bank, but any input from the forum would be much appreciated.
