Again from the crate I checked the steering head bearings to make sure they were tight.
the front end is choppy, Not head shake.
On a slightly bumpy road its uncomfortable.
Anyone try different viscosity oils in the forks?
Or any one upgrade Fork spring to maybe something from Progerssive Spring?

When I do a spring change I generally go with a nonprogressively wound spring and 10 weight bellray,,, this usually settles front end woes pronto,,,, scooters have crap front ends as a rule and are really lacking in the damping department,,, too much compression and not enough rebound,,, it makes for a interesting ride when you come into a bumpy corner a little too hot,,, kinda like the wild mouse at the fair,,,I had the exact opposite on a sportster I built too much rebound and no compression,,, in a long fast bumpy corner it wasn't long till I was riding a rigid front end all bottomed out,,, that was scary when the front tire wouldn't stay on the ground,,, just hitting the tops of the bumps,,, a real peekaboo squirrel moment

K
Already have some Bellray 10w
Think I'll add a extra oz.
The issue seems to get worse the faster I go. 45+mph
Gunna have to try those Ceramic Tire beads also.
don't like this surprise "Peek a boo Moments"

That's peekaboo squirrel moment ,,,, that's when the the squirrel tries to fly out of your butt in a hairy corner then bumps his head on your underpants then gets scared again and goes back in,,,it all happens in milliseconds,,, the only trace of it is the brown mark his head leaves,,, it's about as big as a quarter,,,,lol I've had a bunch,,, Ask me sometime I'll elaborate
