Thanks Mohawk,

 

mileage is just over 30k so just about run in really😉
 

my guess is the forks have never been serviced prior to me working on the bike so it’s a fair suggestion that wear and tear maybe part of the problem, although in my defence, no obvious wear was visible on the bushes but that doesn’t mean the cartridge internals aren’t knackered.

 

I’ll start with trying heavier oil but I’m not convinced of the improvement.

 

ill post once done though.

So Pete...how far did you get?

This summer I sold my KTM Adventure 990 for a 4th gen with 20k miles & no service history. The viffer suspension is shite.

After much t'internet research I'm just about to give half of what I paid for the bike to Maxton for an NR4 shock & SD25 cartridges.

For me, this option is the best value for money vs what I need the bike to do. Will service the chassis components & fit new tyres while changing the suspension. And then wait out the winter before being able to enjoy a sorted bike 😀
