Hi All,
The stock front forks on the Scrambler were too softly sprung for my liking so I had a cartridge kit installed in late November which certainly sorted the front end out. I played around a bit with the rebound and compression settings until I got to a setup that worked perfectly for me. Note that I had mainly been riding in sub-zero temperatures or thereabouts during this time. Riding home from work this afternoon (in +15 deg) I noticed that it felt a lot more softly sprung than on previous rides with much more front brake dive than I had previously experienced. I'm curious to know if this would be due to warmer temperatures and the viscosity of the oil or would you expect this to have a negligible effect? For those of you who ride year round, do you adjust your suspension settings according to the temperature or find that one setting generally works year round?
Thanks in advance.
