stiffening up front end on t500
Posted: Sat Apr 09, 2016 2:47 pm
I am nearing completion of my T500 build as seen in the customs section. The front end was rebuilt with all new seals, NOS external springs and I used 15 weight fork oil. I have the bike back together and noticed when I sit on it, the forks compress down quite easily. Its not running yet but if I roll it across the garage and apply front brakes, it will dive pretty significantly. I am just wondering what tips or tricks are available to tighten this up? I figured using the higher weight fork oil would help, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference at all.
