Can excessive fork dive affect braking - Tiger 885

[noggythenog]

For what it's worth.....worthless then .....i dont reckon that changing oil alone will make enough of a difference......it sounds far more of an issue than just a small tweak like oil being the remedy.......or spacers for that matter....i mean here you are with an adventure bike that is blessed with long travel suspension and so is good on bumps and absorbing impact......so using a spacer is taking away that advantage.


Depends what you prioritise.....absorption, braking, handling......either way i think improving 1 will adversely affect another.


I think you're like me but in the opposite direction and perhaps need some different springs.....for what it is worth ill be going with softer springs and ill be going with linear matched to my weight and riding style....it is controversial but i dont have pillion pegs so will never take pillion, i dont do heavy touring, just hooning around really so thats quite specific requirements which i feel linear springs can match to.


I might then start adjusting oils...but only as a complement to the main solution.
