First, I have searched these forums and have found the help I was seeking for oil and such, but here are more.
I weigh about 220 lbs and ride an 03 Super-T. I have raised my oil level slightly higher from the reccomended level for my weight. It is about 70mm from the top of stanchion with upper springs removed and rods compressed. Is this the proper way to measure oil level? Do I remove lower springs as well?
Also, I have upgraded to Extra Heavy springs (yellow). I have replace the Upper springs with these. Is this correct, or do these replace the lower ones?
So, I have raised the oil (stock 7.5 wt) and put in heavier springs and I still bottom pretty hard off anything 3 ft or more. Should I raise even more oil, go to 10 wt oil, or are my new springs supposed to replace the lower ones and not upper?
Thanks
