Front suspension advise

Magician16 · 01-30-2022, 11:28 AM

My Bashan Storm only has 1" sag on the front suspension, and it is rather harsh on a big bump. I resurrected the bike and haven't messed with the forks yet, but my Magician had the exact opposite problem which changing the oil to Maxima 15W fixed without having to build preload spacers. I'm thinking the first thing I should do is take them off, check the size of the preload spacers and replace the oil with like 10W. I'm thinking the previous owner had maybe put either too much oil in or too heavy oil.

Am I on the right track?
