Stiffer front suspension for the classic Pulsar 180 - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

hirenmistry · 02-17-2009, 12:13 PM

Hello all,
I ride a classic Pulsar 180.
The front end dives a lot under braking and most of the times it bottoms out.
Is it possible to remedy this?

Can I put in some stiffer springs or thicker oil? Has anyone done this before?

Ed:
Just to add abt my bike, I've changed the original swing arm, rear suspension, chain etc with that of the UG3, the wheels as well.

Regards,
Hiren

How long has it been doing it? I guess not from the begining. Have you visited a service center or a mechanic?

I reckon it has been but its only off late that its starting to bug me ...
I dunno if this helps but I think I've busted the left fork seal last night, its leaking oil.

Thanks

Well then that shud be the problem. Go to a mechanic and get your fork and seals fixed. It should fix the problem.
