Front End setting too high

Is it really stiff over the bumps? I wonder if there's too much preload. Progressive springs?

Whats the air pressure in the front forks? If you use pressure, and dont have progressive springs....etc...

I think from the factory the top of the fork is at the top of the tree, I'm wondering if you have Progressives with too much spacer length.

Might be worth a check.

Would probably be obvious when you pull the top plug out, the spacer should be 1/2" - 3/4" above the fork (someone correct me it that's wrong, it's just where I set them for comfort)

And if you go that far you might as well pull the springs out and see what they are.

Also, be sure to loosen the top triple clamp, otherwise it'll pinch your cap bolt.

There are pics on here somewhere showing OEM & Progressives side by side. The Prog. are tighter wound with a larger wire size.

No fluid will be lost if you pull everything out slowly letting it drain back into the fork.

Can't really tell one way or the other.

The obvious is just sliding your fork tubes up or above the upper triple tree one inch and re tighten a triple tree bolts to spec. Ride it around like that and see if you like that.
20 minute job maybe?

Are the rear shocks stock? If not they might be shorter than stock and that's why the bike sits that way.

Otherwise I would agree that the front spacer may be too long.
