    bouncy bounce bounce..

    OKay, i LOVE my gs, but i HATE how it handles..
    its so bouncy in the front..
    i can feel EVERY single bump in the front.

    Do i need to rebuild the forks?
    i refilled the air and it helped some.

    Update the suspension, front and rear. Transform that pogo stick into a real motorcycle.

    Cartridge Emulators, modern fork springs, and rear shocks from someone like Ikon, or even WP. Fix the worn out bearings in the steering head and swing arm.

    Then with decent tires and upgraded brakes you will have something safe, comfortable and fun to ride.

      Might be bouncing because there is no fork oil.

      Easiest thing is to drain what's left, refill with fresh oil, see if it's leaking.

      If it leaks, you will need to replace the seals. While you have it apart would be the perfect time to install Progressive or Sonic springs.
