Hi I have an FZ600 1988. My front suspension is a little bit too soft. I'm planning on hardening it. I'm not sure if I should add and equal amout of ouil (2 tbsp) on both forks. Or add some air pressure into it. I think that putting aire pressure would be a better idea but is having the same pressure on both forks hard to do ? I have a compressor by the way.

As long as you've got air-caps on your fork legs, it's as easy as adding air to your tires 8) .....If you add too much oil........it could blow a fork seal, so be careful :wink:

Changing the fork springs is another option & not too difficult to do IF you've got the right tools & a bit of patience

Don't use a compressor.

Use a bike pump. It's only a few pushes. upto 11 PSI or there about.

Try a lightly thicker oil. Go to Halfords and see their range.

i used to use multigrade in my cbr4..10-15w worked a treat 8)

Thanks guys

Hate to bring up an old post but I have the same question on my 82 seca 750....has plenty of oil but would still like to stiffen them up...Ive read several post about adding air and even downloaded the craigs online manual but still for the life of me cant find the air valve for the forks.

Ha....on my way into work tonight I got a wild hair....pulled off and finaly found those suckers...3 psi in eich fork and wow....much much better.
