Message: [QUOTE="kiwijohn, post: 1165073, member: 57792"] Gidday fella, to be honest the suspension won't work at it's best until you get springs that can hold the bike up in the travel where the manufacturer designed it to be for the 160lb guys. But if you don't want to spend the bucks, you have to remember that with your particular weight on the suspension the bike will sink down to the point where the damping is getting harder, when it should (in a perfect world) still be quite lively and light. This will make it thump a little through the bars and can make even small bumps feel harsh... know what I mean? Having said that, it probably feels fine to ride now, but if you can sort the springs / oil level thing.. it could feel awesome! Also if you feel like selling it I say flag it and let the next owner worry about it. But that means your next bike might need the same sort of work?! How much are springs over there? Couple of hundred? [/QUOTE]
