Need help with front suspension
I know there is a lot of info on this (Googled) but I want to make sure.
My front end has had upgraded harder springs but I don't know what? last owner just knew he had a rebuild with harder springs
Receipt is from Brook Racing but they don't keep records more than 3 yrs and this was Jan 2010.
Front end feels fine doesn't dive under braking but is hard when hitting bums and if you hit a bump when cornering feels like its going to skip bangs up through my arms.
The last owner was probably 3 stone heavier than me.
From what I have read the compression needs to be softer to stop skip and chatter.
7 clicks out from fully in on screw in bottom of forks is standard
I weigh about 15 stone with leather etc
