My forks seem low...
Anyone have experience with the forks on this bike? Mine seem to be low with me off and even lower with me on (200 lb guy). When I'm on, it looks like there's about 3" of fork inner showing. It just seems a little low to me. The oil seals look perfect and there's no indication that there's ever been a drop of oil leaking out. Could it be that my springs are worn? I got this bike a little used and have put many miles on it. It's up to about 10,500 now. I actually just noticed this "lowness" a couple months ago. I'm not sure if it's always been that way or not. Perhaps the previous owner had it lowered? In any event, I'd like to raise the forks about another 3" or so. I think the ride would be more comfortable, it would look better and stand less of a chance of bottoming out on a hard bump. I don't usually experience it bottoming out though.
Now, a good many of the bikes I've looked at on here also look rather "low" in the front end. Maybe this is just how the bike is. I can't find exactly what I need to know from the Suzuki maintenance book. Any ideas? I'd be much obliged for any! Aloha and Mahalo, Aaron
