But make sure that your front end preparation is meticulous! (Exact fork oil level and GOOD springs) - I have lost count of the number of front mudguards I have "punched" with even the standard setting let alone THIS arrangement (which obviously works well other than the pitfall )

I have been wondering for ages how that little dent got in the middle of my H2 front mudguard, mystery solved! Cheers.

I have found the front end of the bike to be CRAP. The springs are WAY too soft, it's like a pogo stick.

Planning on getting something done with the forks over the winter.

Any recommendations ???

change the fork oil and fill to the correct level, with the correct weight oil

assuming you have not done this already?

here is a good site about suspension set up

hope this helps

But surely the whole magical attraction of these machines is they don?t work in the most perfect way.

If you start, fixing these fault they you might as well go and buy a Honda.

maybe Vince

but personality, if I can improve my triple so it does not try to kill me if I hit a bump in the road then I will change it

rather arrive alive, than not at all

BTW don't own a modern bike & don't own a fo*r stroke
