In this video Tom goes over the steps needed to rebuild the forks on 1996+ Suzuki DR650. While also upgrading the fork springs to a stiffer set from Cogent Dynamics and adding a set of Cogent's DDC's (Dynamic Drop-In Cartridges) Why DDC's? Well, DDC's don't stiffen your ride, they help manage the quality of the ride. A stiffer spring can make a world of difference and keep you from bottoming out but, the DDC's will control the forks when you run into a bottoming out situation or even just riding over uneven terrain or braking hard to help prevent rapid dive of the front end.
Tom also goes over the installation of a Warp9 Fork Brace and new fork boots.
Are your forks leaking oil? Are they mooshy or feel under sprung? Do your forks feel clunky, or they just don't compress in-and-out like they use to? If you answered yes to any of these questions, a fork rebuild and spring upgrade is probably what you're looking for.
