[QUOTE="JoeShep, post: 1139727, member: 86552"] New guy here still trying to figure forum out. Just took my 2014 ES in for 600 mile service. I have been surprised at how stiff the front forks are. Even with dampening setting at full soft I feel an awful lot of the small stuff. Is this just the new forks being tight and do they loosen up with use? I asked the service manager if we could lighten up the oil in the left leg as it is the compression leg. He politly told me that was a stupid idea as he thinks the dampenening is too soft. I like to glide down the straight roads and then go to full hard on the dampening on the twisties once I finally get there. One of the problems of getting old. Anyone else feel the same? Am I just bringing up old news and if I am how do I search for prior threads about this topic? Thanks [/QUOTE]
