Ariel, There was a notable difference with the Synthetic ATF in the forks. I really wasn't sure how much to put in though. There was less than 200ml of this really thin dirty fluid in the forks that I believe was from the factory. No leaking seals so that's all that was it it.
There were much more spongy before so I went with 275ml just to try. It seems ok, no seal leaking after the mountain trip.
And I am going to look into those wheel locks for sure!

Wilser, good to know you have many miles on your machine!
Yes, very heavy for sure. Very noticeable unbalanced power to weight ratio compared to the other bikes there. Not nearly as nimble as what I saw other guys doing.
I think you are supposed to have 175 cc in each fork leg. If the front forks are not compliant, try less ATF. Changing the fork oil again might be a good idea. It will get rid of remainder of the presurvitive oil out of the forks. Are you running a Pirelli MT 43 in the rear?
