First up, I did a front fork oil change and spring rate measurement.
It was running 9.0 N\/mm, but that’s not the original, is it? I wonder.

The preload was quite stiff too, so I shortened the spacer to increase the adjustment range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The caliper bolts were dirty, so I replaced them with Yamaha ones (^_-)-\u2606
