richy*rocket Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hi everyone,i have a small problem with my 2001 dt125r, when i use the front brake the front end dives quite a lot, i have changed the fork oil but it has made no difference so do i need new springs or is there something else i should be looking for? thanks, Richy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted October 19, 2011 Moderator Share Posted October 19, 2011 Its normal for an off road type bike to dive like a profesional footballer under braking, unless you hear a clonking noise indicating either hitting the bump stop or a broken spring there is nothing wrong. Stop riding it like a race bike and learn to balance the braking between the front and rear brakes, the front disk on DT's is shite anyway and fades like cheap jeans so consistent hard braking is not reccomended, you will go through pads and even disks very quickly otherwise.
