Lug Nut Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 Can the front end of a RSV be lowered with different/progressive fork sprigs? I would like it a bit lower and would rather do new fork oil and seals and better springs than shoving the forks up into the triple tree.
Yammer Dan Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 Not sure if there is a shorter spring for them. I'm going to remove leveling links and shove tubes up a little. Had this figured out last summer and never got in shape to do it. Now gotta rethink all of it. I want to drop the entire bike and keep it level.
Yammer Dan Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 And NO dropping it the way I did last spring is NOT what I had in mind!!!
ragtop69gs Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 Sliding the tubes up in the clamps is all I know about for lowering the front. If using the old springs only go 3/4" or you risk the tube covers hitting the fender mounts. I installed sonic springs with 15W fork oil last year, tubes slid up 7/8" and love the way it handles now. With the 15W oil it rides a bit stiffer but not harsh.
