Yeah, I have tried the 10wt oil PieEater, but 10wt oil and the problem with the overly strong compression damping made the forks kick off transverse bumps really badly, even after I'd turned the compression damping right down. There's a fast road near here where tree roots have given the road corrugations and it was dreadful over those. My ZZR floats over that 1/4 mile of bends, so it was easy for me to see what good suspension should be like by comparison.
I was considering doing the Raven Rider mod, but I ran out of time last year and I didn't fancy hacking the springs around. I increased the air gap as he suggested. Not a lot of difference, but the higher rate springs and slightly increase oil weight has helped a bit. That was the 4th rebuild and they feel pretty harsh and still dive. To be honest, my forks are now 148,000 miles old, so I'm onto a loser whichever way you look at it, but they are better than standard. By about 15% :\ . Busy saving up for an MT-10!
