liquidcooled Posted June 6, 2004 Posted June 6, 2004 decided to spend the day sprusing up the xj's suspension. the back shocker was cleaned/greased etc.. but the most noticable thing i done was strip the forks, clean them all out, put fresh heavier oil in them and way hey, loads better. apparently the divvys are quite soft in the fork department too so i'd say it's worthwhile doing this to them also. to put it bluntly, the forks in my xj were soft as sh*te, the bike feels 100% better now. good days fettling highly recommended 8)
Pete Posted June 6, 2004 Posted June 6, 2004 Yeh, front suspension on the Divvy's is very soft. As you say, thicker oil helps......but when you fit braided hoses then the increase in braking power starts bottoming the forks out again. :roll: Very poor front disc on the Divvy 6 I found. There's only a single on the XT, but it's actually pretty effective TBH.
Admin Alex Posted June 7, 2004 Admin Posted June 7, 2004 Everything ive ever heard and read about the divvy suggests changing the fork oil so why the hell did yamaha choose it :shock:
