Gixxer fork, twitchy...

[HondaRider22]

Uhh I'm not sure, due to lack of experience, but I think my gixxer 1G forks are a little twitchy. I mean, I think they should have more dampning. I was thinking about replacing the fork oil, it's over due. So what are your suggestion as to what wieght oil to use. I'm about 230 lbs + gear so I think thicker weight oil would be better. Could I just have some of your 2 cents...

Thanks

Well Mike, have you first tried setting your suspension i.e-preload, compression, and rebound? If thats not the case, PPS can re build your forks for under $300.

when are they twitchy...list lean angle, speed, throttle, road conditions, and then we might get somewhere

Mikey! The answer to your suspension woes... goes by the name of Stig. :)

yeah Mike just call him up and find out what you need to do....plus your bike si still relatively new to you and you are getting used to it. I say ride it out until you have the extra 3 bills to throw down and then talk to stig, cause when you talk to him you are gonna want to get'em down asap...
