Firstly I'd like to say, if you don't really know the history of your bike I'd look at changing the fork oil at least. Mine looked like it had been in there since it rolled off the production line.

Secondly, thanks for your input gents, you've all been very helpful. I decided to go with what the manual said for the oil level. It's the first time I have done anything suspension related so ive taken my time, someone else could have done it in half the time but I got there.

Tomorrow's job is to get the tape measure out and start measuring sag and setting the pre load.

Just bouncing the bike on the front brake feels like a massive improvement, it doesn't feel like a pogo stick any more.

I'll have a tinker with the pre load in the morning and hopefully get it out for a ride

I love tinkering with this stuff, you're going to get all the reward when you take it out for a ride.

re. fork oil age. I bet it is the original oil. No ****er ever changes it (apart from forum members!)
