Ahh! great choice the silver one, I'm glad it's not just me that likes his bikes in primer.
I have been chatting with anutz in messages and he has given me some things to think about fork wise, and some of the graphs that he has posted on here make sense about pre-load and spring rates, my Fazer FZS600 is a Foxy model so it has the pre-load adjusters on the fork tops, but I think I will still try a few large penny washer on top of the springs below the fork tube caps, I would guess bouncing up and down for 38K mile will have compressed/shortened the springs a tad.
The info on linear springs also makes sense to as the spring compression rate remains the same albeit progressive. that sounds like bollocks now I said it. lol :lol
If you look at the length of spring Tommy I would start with about an inch of spacer first go. Only change one thing at a time so either spacers by itself or heavier oil. Changing 2 things gives too many variables to think about. It's only time we're talking about so bit by bit and decent test ride after each tweak. Good luck and we need updates :thumbup
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
