Can I bounce your bike?
Help!
Just been down the local garage to see how he felt about my can for MOT purposes. Apparently can is fine but my forks may well be bad. He thinks there is no damping and so perhaps low or no oil in them. He doesn't fix bikes so is unable to give an opinion but suggest I get them checked out.
I know the older SVs have cheap forks (mine's a 2001 naked) so it may be that's just how SVs are and he hasn't bounced one for a while. So I was wondering if any of you lot are any where near to Fleet and if I could pop round and compare the damping of the two front ends just by pushing the bike with the front brake on. Not suggesting you trust me to take your bike for a ride, just a quick driveway bounce.
However if you've had massive upgrades to your front end I guess it would not be much use.
Or is anyone with a stock sprung SV going to the Anchor on Thursday?
thanks in advance,
Mark
