Default Re: Handling Dilemma

at that kind of milleage, you'll benefit definatefly from a fork oil refresh, you might aso find your rear shock is getting tired as well...

but yep make sense to change the tyres first and see how that feels I think.

would simply a fork oil change help the feel as well or would you need to change the springs to really notice a difference?

Fresh fork oil made quite a big difference to how the front end of my sv felt, but springs and fork oil should give another noticeable difference over just an oil change alone.

Lowers are completely different colour . Don't know why, but I expected them to be similar, not an exact match but not too bad. Complete newb mistake I thinks as they are unpainted and need to be sprayed.
