Hi Guys,
I own a 96 carbed Bird which now has 27000 miles on the clock. I have been finding the suspension a little hard for a while now and thought I'd look into a solution. On trawling through the threads about suspension, I gather that my rear shock and fork springs could be knackered by now.
I checked the rear sag at the weekend and found the static to be 25mm. The loaded sag with me in full kit is 49mm. The length of thread beneath the adjusting collar is about15mm. I've not checked the front sag yet but will try this weekend. Does anyone know if these figures could indicate a knackered rear shock?
