KLE 500 - Front fork oil change?
Hi guys,
This week I've made my first trip with the KLE. I'm still away from home so no photos for now.
It runs just fine, enough grunt for 2-up with allit panniers, top box and the whole kit, but I've that the front fork is really soft, which doesn't really help when highway riding...
So I've been thinking of changing fork spring and oil to make it a little better... But I don't know wether this will help that much. Given that I don't have the money (nor the desire) to substitute the whole fork... What do you guys think? Has any of you tried the same? Am I expecting too much from the poor bike?
Also, I'd like to change the preload of the rear spring, but it doesn't look as though it can be done by hand or with the tools I have... Is the special tool necessary or can it be done with some tool tweaking? If the first one... Where can I buy it?
Thanks for reading
