Sagging forks.

It appears the front forks on my 2005 C-10 are sagging a little too much. They are also a little bouncy. I'm not sure about this but it appears so. I know they are much softer than those on the C-14. How do I correct this? Change the oil? change the springs? Any suggestions? I've already set the spring pre-load to the tightest setting. Thanks...............Mo
 
This is a common complaint. You need new stiffer springs, 15 wt oil at the minimum. There are other upgrades (cartridge emulators) but not required. Sonic makes good springs in 3 different stiffness settings.Also progressive sells springs for the concours. Increasing the preload will not make up for under sprung forks. This only changes sag or ride height. Good luck, Mark
 
I run 15wt and progressive springs. I have not been unhappy with that over all. So much depends on your load and riding style it may not be good enough for you. Photos[/url]
