Forks removed, taken apart and cleaned with new clean solvent is best option. Oil viscosity increased for a stiffer feel does help. 10wt. Silcolene was my choice.Thinking Of changing it on mine. Having never done this before,do the forks have to get removed? Also is there an upgraded oil for a slightly stiffer feel?
Where can the gold valves be purchased in the UK do you know?. I changed mine for Gold Valves this summer and immediately noticed increased compliance - the forks soak up the bumps and make them seem like they have been stretched out compared to the OEM valves.
I'm sorry, I don't know. I bought them from Race Tech (racetech.com) for my 1300. I think they have cartridge style valves for the 1100 as well. You will have to check their website.Where can the gold valves be purchased in the UK do you know?
