Hi Stefan, i had a Transalp and after 70000 km, my front fork worked
really badly, so i went to a mechanick and he put an extra small spring on
top of the old one (for each fork... ) and the front of the bike got a
little taller. Also it worked pretty well! It was cheaper than bying new
springs and the results were ok. I think it should work fine with the AT
too. (Sorry, only 20.000 km with my AT )
The guy told me that they used to do this to improve the forks for MX=
racing!
About the rear suspencion, i think that the AT is too heavy for its rear
spring, and i had to put it in the maximum preload. Anyway i dont think u
can easily get it taller in the back...
Just wrote the answer from Martin and he is right about the method,
but because the AT is so heavy, turning the screw doesnt really get the bike
much taller, it mostly increases the preload of the spring... (I think... )
A question from me to all of u: What kind of fuel do u use?????????
The manual says that u should put unleaded ( 95 model), but
magazines and riders here in Greece dispute that very strongly!
I know that in theory leaded fuel lubricates the valves and
protects them more.
