Anybody got any good tips on sorting front suspension for a 900 Hornet? Feels pretty "wooden" and harsh. Or is this just the way things are . . .

Its 2005. No, nothing done. Only 12000ks.

Seriously, if the 919 is anything like my bike (and it is, because they have similar soggy suspension), it probably has 5w fork oil. Sticking some 15w in there will make a surprising difference. But...not as much as getting some fixed rate springs configured to your weight (:

Yeah, heard a set of decent front springs (not too expensive) will help a lot.

Hey Devil - any ideas where to get the springs?

Ohlins do a set of progressive springs. You can get them over the web. Or through Robert Taylor i'd assume.
There's a few brands out there. Go googling
