Think we need a rename on this thread ""Tommy v darrsi The bitch off"" 15w going in my forks next weekend and hoping to get linear springs matched to my weight when I have the funds,When changing springs will the damper rods be ok or should I do the emulator mod at same time ?
FFS darrsi leave it mate, this could go on and on you bitch me I bitch you back and have a pop at everything each other says, and it never ends.But I will just add, as stated earlier if it is an Opinion it is neither honest or dishonest, it can be a genuine Opinion, a firmly held Opinion, or humble Opinion, but that does not make it honest or right, but something that someone has thought through and chosen to believe, and a lot of us believe a lot of stuff that just is not true.Under that tough exterior of yours I believe that there is a genuine kind hearted, thoughtful man. But then I rethink the last statement above about us believing stuff that isn't true, and come to a firmly held Opinion that you are just a twat.

Not a native English speaker, but the dictionary says that an opinion can be honest:https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/honestHonest as saying what you really do think (believe). My honest opinion is that the Earth is not flat, but I've never traveled a full circle so I could be wrong. Possibly, but not probably.As for the topic, I agree with your first post about using the correct rate (best not progressive) springs, appropriate valves and oil viscosity.I've put some steel inserts between the preload adjusters and FZS's standard springs, and added some more viscous oil, getting a bit better handling on the road and the track. At least for my taste. It's far from an optimal, but a rather cheap fix (or "fix", depending on one's criteria).I also agree that using an oil that is (way) too viscous can cause problems.P.S. If you're that much into Darrsi, why not ask her for a drink, that's what grown ups do.
Thank you Slanlinar for your words of wisdom, your not darrsi's brother of dad are you????? just asking. (Let me see if I can get that little red light flashing)
Is an opinion the same as a choice then, I can choose not to like something and then give an opinion on it but is not absolute or the truth in anyway, it is just an Opinion that belongs to me, and I may strongly hold to it, but that does not make it fact or the truth.
Anyway thank you Slaninar for adding your Opinion, I feel you may have the same effect as a stick wiggling about in a hornets nest, but you may not agree, but that is your Op...............Here we go again.
PS: I agree about the world being flat if it was round like some are saying the water would all run off, I don't know! Some people have not thought that one through.
WTF IS HAPPENINGall i asked was about some oil weight in forks then it turned into changing springs which is fair and on subjectthen it turned into the whole philosophical argument of the meaning of opinionand then its turns into gearing systems for the lycra brigade- FUCK IT im putting 15w in tommorow and will let you know if its a bit too harshmight even put the 14t sprocket on and go be a hooligan down my country roads
I feel a bit left out and missing a fight. My honest opinion is that you must all be fat arses because I find the forks just perfect for my weight the way they came out of the factory. BUT at 20 years I can understand the springs have had some wear but would the oil of lost any of its original properties.

not as big a difference from 10 to 15 weight oil i changed mine and tbh all it done was firm it up a bit
