[QUOTE="yamaholic, post: 89128, member: 328"] You do know the suspension is adjustable, right?? I don't know what year you have, so I'll be general with comments. Crank up the spring preload. Crank up the fork compression. Ride and keep tweaking. The manual has locations of each adjustment. Keep playing with them. I swapped in Ohlins straight rate springs on my 03 (as well as WIlburs shock) and couldn't be happier. If you are heavy, say over 200lbs or if you ride it harder than the average touring rider would, it's likely a spring swap is in order IF you cannot dial out the dive with adjustments. Dunno if there are 06 springs available yet. Highly doubt it. Wilburs and Ohlins makes fork springs for 03-05's. Do a search on "dive" and read up... [/QUOTE]
