Hi, Got myself a Genesis 750 and i'm ironing out it's little foibles. Just fitted a replacement rear shock and this has highlighted some strange motion in the front end. Front forks are really saggy and she tends to wallow a bit when pushing on. Any ideas for sorting this out? And does anyone know if the jack up kits for the rear are any good? Twisted Evil

Hi

16" or 17" front wheel?

First thing to do is probably rebuild the forks and replace the fork oil, probably with replacement springs. Also check the front tyre.

With the FZ there is a lot of weight over the front end that gives the front suspension a hard time.

Suspect raising the back would make the front worse

All the best
