[QUOTE="David Trustrum, post: 168290, member: 21529"] Hey well everything you do will be an improvement starting at minor dollars. First off you need to replace those seals. Then you should get some stiffer springs & set the preload (several articles about preload about the place) up by adjusting the length of the spacers above the springs. You can make longer ones out of sturdy PVC plumbing pipe. Do a search on ‘stiffening springs’ using the search key & there is a thread I wrote which is a cheap option for stiffening springs. Check the forks are straight while they are apart & clean the old oil out thoroughly. Usual starting point is about 10w for something of this age I guess. They weren’t USD or cartridge I don’t think. Treat the rear shock to a re-oil & regas (have to take shock to a specialist) & make sure the linkages are in good order. Beyond that is specialist suspension work which is probably just a waste of money on an oldish bike compared to buying a new one. You will probably find getting the forks & shock sorted will bring the sort of improvement you hope for -within reason. Glad the PV worked out for you. Oh yeah & let me get out of the plane next month when I’m over for the 500GP. I am not a Air NZ shareholder. :silly: :silly: [/QUOTE]
