Title: Help Suspension Question?
Post by: stormchaser on June 29, 2009, 07:12:26 PM
Figured out what is causing my high speed wobble.  Every time I'm on the gas the bike sits back, and the front forks are topped out.  Replaced the fork oil recently. If I lift off the gas the forks compress and wobble is gone. How do I prevent the forks from topping out under power.  Thought of stiffening the rear shock. Any suggestions.

Try this link for a little info. http://wiki.gstwins.com/index.php?n=Upgrades.RearShock

I am thinking about doing the katana shock swap and putting new springs in the frount.

make sure the preload is on a high setting before you do anything drastic
