I have a feeling that my Dakar may be suffering from sagging springs.  I have noticed of late that when pulling away the front end actually lifts ie. the forks extend.  This is something that has only developed lately.  I also notice that even while the bike is standing on the sidestand you can grab the handlebars and lift the bike higher, not much, but by about 2cm.  When you let go it drops back down.  Is this normal?

Or do I need some new progressive springs?  :biggrin:
