Greetings! I have an '09 FZ6R with just over 33k miles, and I have not had the forks serviced. I have noticed a decrease in front end feel, especially after mounting the Michelin Pilot Road 3's. The forks 'bounce' a bit and am thinking that it is mostly due to oil age. Will changing the fork oil make a noticeable difference? I ask because I have never changed fork oil on any bike I have had (this one is number 4.) Guess I never kept the others long enough to have to do it!
I was told to look into a fork internals upgrade, and have contacted a manufacturer about it, because they don't list our bike in their inventory. Is it worth $250 or so to get a new cartridge fork for the FZ6R?
I have been told that I ride aggressively, and viewing my tire wear certainly supports that thought. I love fast corners! Would YOU do a cartridge fork upgrade for your bike? Need more feedback while I save my pennies!
