My 2001 had only 8k miles. I used 10w fork oil , added 7-16th flat washers to each fork compressing stock springs about 3/4". Rides fine...I wieght 200 lbs.

Also "Death Wobble" is really tyre/pressure sensitive - I also added a fork Brace - spendy but worth every penny.
Before - OEM tyres needing pressure - I'm going to die!
After frork brace and valve spring - weird scrambler tyres - 160k (indicated) bloody great this!!
Also added fairing - unusual japanese (webike one made of canvas) - looks OK, increases top end super impressed for about $100

I have progressive springs :-/? My friends pushed down on my front end and it just went down with no work. Just bouncy. Also not able to ride over 65mph, otherwise death wobble comes on fast. The forks were rebuilt by a shop, progressive springs added.. and still no improvement.
