My ex had low bars on the GN with no worries, they made it so much easier & she wasn’t a tall girl. By adding oil (& many bikes are notorious for not having the correct amount of oil in the forks, 80s Kawasaki’s esp. it seemed they were trying to save money on fork oil) anyway by adding oil you are decreasing the airspace which increases the springrate near full compression.
Ideally new stiffer springs would be better at slowing the forkdive but oil is cheap. I don’t mean fill them up or anything, that would cause hydraulicing & likely blow the forkseals. But adding 10-20 ml should give a slight improvement.
