fork

I just picked up a really clean 2000 Mille. I was trying to get it dialed in for some trackdays and I'm getting a ton of dive under braking. Spring preload and compression isn't helping much. I'll guess the fork oil has never been checked and the level is probably low. I weigh about 210 - am...

after my previous post saying i noticed a puddle of 'oil' on the base of my fork leg, i went to southern cross and they took it apart and couldn't find a leak. I went back home and the stanchion was still feeling greasy so i took the mudguard off and wiped both sides off with brake cleaner so...
