[QUOTE="escapefjrtist, post: 1247539, member: 238"] Lots of options for you here. First, GEN I bikes seem to be gentler on the fork bushings than later years, so an oil change will more than likely suffice. Since you're going to be in there and GEN I's are very under sprung, install a set of 0.90-1.0 kg fork springs and you'll be much happier with the bike. Shocks are another story. Aftermarket is an option as well as replacement with a '13 and up shock. Seems Yamaha has done a better job with GEN III shocks regarding spring rate and dampening making the OEM shock a great bargain replacement upgrade. --G [/QUOTE]
