Front Suspension Performance

[sukiz]

Hello there! Hope you are all well! I was just looking in the suspension section in hope to find a thread to relate to my problem, but I haven't had any luck so far. I am wanting to improve the front suspension on my RG250 to hopefully improve the performance on the road. Can anybody suggest what would be an improvement? Thanks!

I put a pair of gsxr forks on mine. They are 1989 750 forks, 41 mm. They work great. I can't advise about the axle size , you might have to change bearings or something like that. I'm using 17" Katana wheels.

Are very good with several guys with modded RGs on there. UK based too.

Spoke with these guys http://www.brooksuspension.co.uk/suzuki ... rvice.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; who confirmed my suspicions that the forks were poor and suggested as a budget upgrade with out having to do anything drastic such as a full fork change, that a refresh and a re-spring might be the way forward. They only charge £120 to refresh the oil and seals and they charge £85 for a set of springs.

I agree with the above posts. Better oil, new seals, new springs and possibly, if your budget allows, cartridge emulators. The GSXR forks are probably overkill on my bike but I race mine and it has less flex in the front end with these.

Fairly local to me, only 45 mins away, so might come in useful. Cheers.
