Front fork refurb/rebuild: Situation & options.

[size=1em]Alpha suspensions in Morley is worth a shout mate,[/size]

[size=1em]Will give them a call.[/size]

• [size=1em]If I were in your position I would find someone local that could help you check your preload and damping settings just to make sure you have these optimally set up. [/size]
  
• [size=1em]With stronger springs you also need to increase the rebound damping from stock settings and this should help with the 'kick-off' you mention, increasing compression damping may help with running wide.[/size]
  
• [size=1em]If you're happy that you've tried all of this but still need to do something with the suspension then as you've already had new springs and oil which hasn't sorted the problem as far as I can see.[/size]
  
• [size=1em]So if you're getting much cheaper quotes I would make sure that you are not just paying to have new springs and oil again.[/size]
  

• [size=1em]I will do some research, but ideally Im guessing I would want someone who has had exp. with FZS1000's.[/size]
  
• [size=1em]I tried max & min comp and rebound damping and all that I could notice was the kickback remained unchanged, but with both set of damping set to min the forks dived more.[/size]
  
• [size=1em]Would you agree that the above would indicated that something isnt right..? - The issue is I havent got another FZS1000 or FZS1000 forks to compare - just my bandit 1200.[/size]
  
• [size=1em]Yeah, I really really want to avoid spending money and then have the front behave the same. I already have a set of brand new springs so I will paying for the internals to be serviced.[/size]
  

[size=1em]Do you or anyone know what weight the stock spring are? as a comparison to the 9.5 ktech that are in there atm[/size]
