[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1389845, member: 3828"] That seems like a question for a NEPRT tire thread. Scooters point about suspension being worn out is a good one. I know a lot of us upgraded the fork internals and swapped to aftermarket shocks in our A models, and that made a huge difference in handling, but the biggest changes made were usually changes in spring rate, plus more adjustability of the damping. Once you got your setup dialed in (if you even knew what you were looking for) how much did it really change from there on? I guess thats a good question for those among us that insist they need to be refreshed every XX number of miles. After I upgraded my 1st Gen suspension at around 60k I never felt a need to touch it again and it still seems fine at 100k, though the new owner is considerably lighter than I am. The nice thing about the ES is that I felt no need to upgrade the suspension from new, and it still feels great at 30k miles. Hope I never feel a need to touch it. [/QUOTE]
