I'm about 6'2" and 250-255 lbs. A few guys in the same size range were reporting on other 1199 forums that they were having severe front end diving with full fork bottoming out even with front Compression eventually set at zero! I suggested that they check the amount of fork oil present. A few of them are talking about full re-valving and re-springing as a result.
I can't believe that the 1199 would come with sub-performing spring rates. After all of the great reviews; none that I can recall mentioned any of these issues.
My personal "zip tie test" showed only about 50% travel of the available fork tube used under hard cornering, hard braking and totally F'ed up roads around here.
I'm also running with the rear in F mode, engine braking at level 2 and ABS at level 5.
What have you fellows noticed as far as the extreme compression issues that some others have experienced?
