Looking for some advice on where to begin. For some reason my front suspension seems like it isn't working anymore when i hit bumps.
It was fine until the last couple times out this month. 17 Ultra limited 21k Thanks

 

What do you mean by "it isn't working anymore when I hit bumps"? Is it to harsh on bumps? Bounces too much?

Regardless, I'd start with checking the forks for signs of an oil leak. Then condition of tires and wheel bearings.

The easiest and cheapest thing to try is to change the fork oil. I recently did mine and the oil levels from the factory were significantly lower than what is specified in the service manual. there had never been any evidence of leaking fork seals. I changed it when I added heavy duty fork springs. The new oil, set at the correct level, and springs made a fairly significant difference. If you are happy with the handling prior to this issue just change the oil and see how it goes.

 

What are the differences? Do the small bumps seem harsher? Are you feeling a stutter after hitting a bump?

 

How much do you weight? You may want to change springs.

 

Although I was very happy with Legends on the rear of my ‘17 limited. I didn’t care for the ride with them in the front. They held the road well, and definitely prevented bottoming out, but for me they rode just too harsh.

 

I have heard this more than not.

 

Heard it from several people. That’s why I may go with fox cartridges when I’m ready.

 

Yes this is really what it's doing. especially the stutter

 

What tire pressure are you running. A lot of guys run way too much. 36 is plush.
