[QUOTE="McRide, post: 649893, member: 3697"] Yesterday, Fairlaner and I replaced the front fork springs on his 09 and my 04. I have +48K and it was probably OEM oil.... It poured out like water. Over the years I had simply settled into the suspension, along with HaulinAshe settings so I was never really dialed into what I 'should' be feeling. Speaking for myself, there is a noticeable improvement in the contact and firmess of the whole and no more diving front end. I few tweaks on the settings recommended by Traxxion and all will be like new. FYI, it's a straightforward DIY. The 1st bike took about 3 hours with the 2 of us and the 2nd took about 1 1/2 hours. By yourself you might be looking at up to 4 hours. I can see that 4 hands really made it easier. [/QUOTE]
