Not sure with top box attached but certainly with the rack. I can have a try later if u like & see if it will?
changed the fork oil to 15w on my FZS600. The oil that came out of it was minging.
@Dazza Nice mate, fairly noticeable improvement then? Cheeky question - how much?

Totally transformed the bike, you notice it as soon as you take it off the main stand, feels much firmer with less sag. No more bouncing on uneven roads. High speed corners are a breeze, even the lumpy one near me. Gives you the confidence to edge your rear tyre and scrape your pegs on roundabouts. Bike feels more planted and more like a sports bike. I'm impressed. As for the price. you know what these cost new, over £1k, even second hand I've seen them make over £500. There's a ropey one on fleabay for £400. I paid £295 delivered...Bargain
Hi Nick, I know where you're coming from, suspension settings can get a bit confusing for me too. The previous rider was the same weight as me and tbh it feels right so far. That just leaves the preload to play with so pretty basic. As for taking it to a specialist, there are some pretty knowledgeable foccer's on here so may be picking their brains in the future.
