Dangerous thing :-)
Not depending on the discussion whether to use air or not Honda
recommends a maximum of 0.4 kg in the front fork !
(BTW: Does anybody know which pressure occurs while driving heavily
offroads ?)
And think about that the indive of the front fork is also necessary to
bring more weight on the front tyre during breaking, allowing quicker
braking without blocking the front wheel.
