I've got a 93 750 that dives some on a regular stop. A hard stop nearly bottoms out. I want to add some stiffness back to my front without replacing the springs just yet.
I replaced the front fork oil (dont think the PO did it in the 5k he had it, and I didn't in the 15k I had it) to 16.6 and it did help dampen some of the dive, and almost eliminated the total bottom out over a hard pothole. Theres mention of adding a Pvc spacer atop the current spacer, However I am looking for specs. Length and diameter. So I can mod a set for my own.
I can normally deal with the diving but now that its getting colder, my reactions are a bit slower. I'd rather try and stiffen the front up a little before pulling an endo on realizing the guy in front just skidded to a stop.
I'd rather wait till I can no longer safely ride <E.G. Ice or snow always on the ground> Before I go and rip out the springs and replace them.
Anyone know if BP's post was for the Pre's and if so.. Where it went?
