Good to see you have the posting issue resolved and have received plenty of help and suggestions with your issue. I would have the forks removed and serviced, at which time the springs can be inspected as well.
I would tend to agree with this, JO is seldom wrong. You need to remove forks, drain, flush, check spring length, refill as per specs/process in the shop manual and on this forum at a minimum. Process is labour intensive and a pain so many owners neglect doing this for far too long. Makes a huge difference in road feel and handling. I refilled with 7.5 weight oil.JuST my opinion but the whole conversation is moot until the OP takes the forks off and opens them up, measuring the fluid level or quantity (and condition) that comes out. I suspect low fluid. While he's at it I recommend disassembling and inspecting the anti-dive unit, the sealing lip on the piston in particular.
