Having been spurred into action, after reading all the positive posts on spring and oil replacement, and feeling the front end could do with some work, I did the job on Friday.
Now I feel a bit robbed, as there hasn’t been that noticeable a difference in the handling, (does ride a little smoother over manholes and the like).
Could this be that it already had up rated springs in?

I ordered the Hagon Springs from Hagon with 15W oil, (came the next day)
What I noticed was the springs I took out, looked exactly like the new hagons, same length same amount of tight curls.

So the question is, are the stock Suzuki springs progressive, do they have tighter curls on one end?

If not, I’ve got a set of progressive springs for sale.

No.The standard springs are linear.You must have already had some make of aftermarket springs in.That's a bummer,how much did you pay for the new ones?

well done for not falling for the placebo affect! I think the majority of riders would 'feel' a benefit

I may be interested in a set of used progressive springs. I'm in fleet Hampshire. If you're local perhaps we could do a deal?

All i can say is that the standard set up must be pretty scary.

I am going to put the first set back in,as wont be able to say how much use they have had,to sell.
The new Hagons will only have done 15 miles.
I'll try to change em back this weekend,and work out a price.
