Hello.
I started riding my recently bought motorcycle. One of the possible problems I noticed was the rigidity of the front fork. The fork stroke seems a bit small to me, about 80mm, it bends and comes back hard. When driving on the road, if there are small unevenness, the handlebars vibrate as if the suspension were rigid-fixed. I don't know the history of the suspension service. When braking, there is a slight forward bending and return. I'm thinking of disassembling and cleaning it. I'm curious if I can put ATF oil in the shock absorbers. On other Honda models (VT500E and VF750S) that I had previously, I used ATF oil (Dexron2), with very satisfactory results. You have experience with such an oil in the fork? I am 1.78m tall and 84kg in weight. Thank you.
