They are adjustable for compression damping aren't they? Have you wound that off a bit?

Do you have the right oil weight and air gaps?

yup but if i wind the compression down the bike starts to wallow a wee bit. there aint much difference in the actual adjustment from full on to full off its a very narrow scale.

i am a bit anal/methodical when it comes to pulling/putting bike parts together. oil is silkolene rsf 5 wt and air gap was at 102mm, i have all the necessary tools for the job. i might have missed something but i doubt it as i followed the service manual.

I would try 7W oil and 125 gap.

[Bibio]

hhhmmm never thought of increasing the air gap.

wouldn't 7wt slow the forks down though?

Rebound is problem on stock forks, need more valving.

[Bibio]

i'm slowly coming to that conclusion.

i'll try it again at the weekend and see how i get on. funny thing is the bike seems to settle down at about 70mph and feels really really planted. get to 80 and above and it starts to get a wee bit skittery. between 50-70 its a bit bumpy and up to 50 its nice and stable.

May be rider issues

more than likely
