These Chinese forks are very easy to maintain. I strongly encourage you to change the fork oil; you will notice a definite improvement.

I have USD forks on my Zong, so I will defer comment to others who have conventional forks such as yours.

A 30mm Mikuni is much easier to tune and to find jets for, than the stock Keihin clone PZ27 or PZ30.

Be careful installing a taller shock, because it changes the rake and trail. Beware of changes in handling.

It'll help the mid-range, but not idle.

I agree. To answer the question in the same language, moving the clip down will richen and up will lean it out.
