Front Suspension Feels Strange

Post by Ralf_CT »

I've got a question relating to the forks and oil: I've got a 2012 PCX150 (bought new in 2014), it now has just under 2,000kms on the clock. While it previously seemed stable the front end now feels like it's wondering, it's no longer planted on the road, the scooter no longer feels safe; there's no bouncing of the forks when pushing down though.

Our roads aren't what they used to be, could the oil be ready for a change due to the hard service they've had to endure the past 4 years? Could a hard bump possibly have damaged the internals?

Many thanks.
