Stoppies and fork compression?
A few weeks ago I upgraded my front end to use racetech emulators. 0.90 springs and 20W oil. I also put a cable tie around a fork to check how much travel is being used.
With normal riding to work I cable tie is moved halfway up the fork. The other day I found a quiet road to try a couple of stoppies and after that the cable tie is right at the very top. Should the forks bottom out when doing a stoppie, or should there still be a little bit of travel left? Can this cause any damage or am I being a bit paranoid? Would thicker oil help this?
