[QUOTE="DAVE C, post: 356381, member: 27145"] Thanks slideways11, OK, this may be a little long winded, but here goes. I got this bike about a month ago and the fork seals and oil had just been professionally replaced. I blew out one seal on the first day. While replacing the seal, I had to change the oil in the other fork b/c I had no idea what was in it. It measured 70mm, which is 10 more than the recommended maximum. I called the shop that replaced the seals in the first place and he said to run 130mm. I was totally confused, but put 130mm in anyway. The forks were bottoming really bad even on very small jumps, so I tore it back down last night and put the Mobil 1 ATF at 110mm. The forks are still off the bike b/c I'm waiting form my new triple clamp which should be in today. Do you think I should go ahead and put in more oil until I can get stiffer springs? Should I go with .44kg/mm springs? The bike came with .41's I think. I bought a sirynge last night for on-the-fly additions at the track, so maybe I should just try it like it is and add some if need be. Thanks for the wealth of knowledge I have received from this post so far. I'll get this down one day! [/QUOTE]
