2016 America Front Forks

Hi guys and gals. Question for you. My America front end dives under heavy breaking especially when two up and fully loaded with luggage. I think the fix needs to be the fork oil. Reading I think the amount of oil is 552cc and it appears the standard weight is 5 ? Not sure on that one. But if it is 5 then that is the reason for the dive. Anybody changed their oil and what weight. I am thinking at least 15 weight. ? My trials bikes use 10 in much slimmer forks and far less overall weight of bike. Any advice from you guys. Regards Ken.

 

I can assure the rear is good to go. The front is far too soft as standard, with full luggage and two persons. It only needs I think 15 weight fork oil and it would be fine. Thanks for the reply. Ride safe

 

Yes I think you could well be right ref 10. In the older model. I think I need to chat with Triumph and establish some facts before I change things. But if the info is correct the 2016 has only 5 weight then as I suspect that's the real issue. 10 is better than 5 but 15 would be just about right I think. Cheers for the reply.
