Common complaint is front forks on standard setting a bit too soft esp under braking. I agree so have put on some more compression damping - 4 clicks. Will try that for a while and do notice the difference so far. Thought it would be worthwhile having a specific topic on it. ps I find the handling very good and it really tracks and holds the line very well even on bumpy surfaces.

Hi D8ona.
When you say you have added clicks.....which way are you turning the compressor adjuster?
The way i read and understand it the standard is 8 clicks back from fully compressed so I have turned my LH fork 3 clicks clockwise so really it is 5 back from fully compressed.
Have I done this the right way. I can't notice the diffence and it still dives?

Hi Yes that is what I have done - 4 clicks so now at 4 off. I probably find it slightly too hard so 5 or 6 off maybe better. The forks will still always dive under braking. Depends what bike you were used to but I deffo notice a difference compared to standard - 8. The black art of suspension adjustment. Maybe you could try a bit more preload as well??

Ok great thanks. The preload adjuster nuts don't click so will it be a full turn (360 deg) ??
