Not any more Nick  :finger

Update -  Drained the existing oil which stank to high heaven and was probably the original '98 stuff. Left them overnight to drain then filled with 15wt oil. Massive improvement to what I had before with even better, sharper handling/cornering.. The bike still dives more than the Fazer which I suppose is to be expected from the style of bike. Going to see how I get on and maybe add a spacer to increase the spring tension as a taster before going straight to progressives.
Still don't think I got a definitive answer to the effect on braking but it was an interesting thread  :lol .
I think the braking has improved but it may be that I now notice the braking more than I do the fork dive.
