As I understand it (and I could be wrong) there are two problems - the forks have too much compression damping and the standard springs are not strong enough to support the weight of bike + hefty European rider (that's me, by the way!)I have tried this in the past and not been happy with the results as it either negligible or had no effect. But am going to have another stab at it and see how I get on.
I have also emailed K-tech for a basic re-spring/re-valve quote.
[update]
The previous owner had set - the comp to softest of 22 clicks, rebound to 7 clicks and preload of 3 rings. So even at those settings the front end far to harsh compared to my bandit 1200, so it looks like a k-tech spring/valve is the next step.
