    Front Fork Air Pressure

    I've tried the search engine on this forum and cannot get good results for some reason. The manual says the front fork air pressure should be 5.7 - 14.2 PSI. I read that someone else is running at 0 PSI. Right now mine is 0 PSI. Thoughts? Opinions?

    Front brakes

    I need some advice. I jumped on my bike this morning and my front brake lever went right to the grip. The brakes are working but obviously something is wrong. All stock except for stainless lines. The master is full and the fluid looks great. No leaks or wet spots and they were working fine...

    Stiff front brake lever

    Has anybody had a severely stiff front brake lever after replacing front pads?? Before I replaced them it had some pull before the brakes would start to grab. Now when I pull it they almost grab instantly, but they do release, they aren't dragging. There just seems to be no free play to say lol...
