Sorting out forks

[Slaninar]

Use SAE20 fork oil and add a bit of preload, 1cm or so. Do not use gear oil, I have ridden a bike with that and it sucks. Fazers have almost no low speed compression damping. I have for sale a couple of very stiff springs but they will be too hard for your weight on the road, and 2002 preload adjusters and spacers for '98 bikes.

Thanks Doctor Motorbreath - I know you've tested most of it.   

So 1 to 1.5 cm of preload and 20 fork oil?

My bike has preload adjusters, it is 2001, but they are maxed and it still is too soft.
