Thank you very much for your thoughts. Bought this machine not long ago, just reached 1000km on it and i learn to ride and set it to my driving style. Great great bike overall, but this one glitch with the front forks.
I measured the travels of dampers, bike on centerstand = 2mm, bike on the wheels after a gentle pumping = 31mm, bike on wheels with me onboard = 35mm. I did not see a lot of diving on brakes.
To this moment i owned a Yamaha XJ 600 96', XJ 900 95' and Suzuki RF 900 95' and XT600Z Tenere 90' (little bit another story, but nice memories) and these are diving much much more on brakes than the FZS. I have an cable tie on the fork installed and will make a test ride tomorrow, if the weather wil be on my side. Also i would like to try some compression and rebound settings.
What confuses me is the strange preload range on my bike.
Sorry for my english, i am from Czech Rep.
