Yeah, I had front-end bottoming issues when braking on my '02 when i first got it. Need to stiffen front-end.

1. Shorten spring & replace with PVC spacer. Did this in '80s when selection of alternate springs didn't exist. Local 250 guru docments how here: https://bayarearidersforum.com/mini/...d.php?t=310628 ... Or

2. Buy replacement springs in 0.75kg/mm rate (ideal for your weight for street riding). http://sonicsprings.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=29_59

For more spirited riding than just commuting, you'll want to install Gold Valve Emulators. Use with 10-15 weight oil.
What do you mean by 2-1 exhaust? Sorry, <--newb
To clarify, your saying I can either shorten the springs and add PVC spacers or I can buy some springs?
