Vertically Challenged
The suspension in the forks seem a bit harsh. Does anyone have any experience in changing that at all? I put Progressive fork springs in the Bandit when I had it, which seemed to help with the brake dive & soaking up the bumps in the road.

Yes, I changed out my front and rear springs. I did it mostly because I am only 5'6 and wanted I little more foot on the road when I was stopped. I also shaved about an inch off my seat. As long as you have a clean place to work it is no big deal. I turned on the radio in my garage and just set into it with no problems... just give yourself a few hours to get it done and and a torque wrench with allen wrench attachments. I got the Hyperpro lowing springs and they were noticeably better than the stock as far as removing some of the harshness... wasn't a day and night difference but it was better and good enough for me.
The stock oil in the FZ6 forks is grey and nasty looking... Felt good getting some good oil in there.
