pete-
could be- who knows how the bike was used before you got it? rick has new
springs [mgcycle] and most likely mark does too. maybe going with a straight
viscosity oil would help too. [?] some guys are using 90wt.

My 71 is pretty original so I assume the springs are too.
Front end seems to bottom out too easy. Do the springs sag or get tired
after all these years?
Is it normal to need to replace them ? I did replace the fork oil last
year, equal amounts in each side, 10-50 oil. No change to the spring
performance.
Thanks
Pete
