Front Forks way to soft & spongy
I would like to change the fork oil in my 883low. It needs the fork action to slow down in compression and rebound. Will using thicker oil in the forks help?

Re: Front Forks way to soft & spongy
Your forks have a 5 wt oil in them, you can change to a 10 wt or even the SE oil which is 15 weight if you want that will firm up the front end.
