Front suspension

Post by Dan M »

Hi guys I’m about to do the headset bearings and new oil seals in the forks, was thinking while I’m there upgrading to raceteck springs, is it worth installing the new springs?? Cheers

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

yes, the bike needs stiffer springs. get the right ones for your weight and then 7.5 weight oil set with 140mm air gap [springs out and forks fully compressed]
