Front End Dive on Braking --

My biggest initial problem with my Adventurer was severe front end dive during hard braking.

The solution was to install Progressive Suspension 11-1144 front springs with 5-7/8" PVC spacers and 20W oil.

The airspace above the oil was set at 120mm with the inner tube fully extended and the spring installed. This required almost exactly 1 pint of oil per tube.
