I’ve had my k2 600 now for to years and think there may be a problem with the front forks, no mater what I set them to they feel the same ( to stiff ), on a smooth road there ok, it holds a line but on a slight bumpy road its like riding a rodeo bull. Do I need new springs, oil ect ect?

I would start with oil and new seals, if you havent changed them in the 2yrs you've had it, its more than likely that the previous owner hadnt either, so potentially the oil is 6yrs old.

Mines only 18 months old and needs the oil doing already.
