No I haven't. The suspension is working much better since fitting BST wheels. Less unsprung weight.

I found the standard setting on the Vmax to soft for my liking as I found the bike would not go where I wanted it to go in the bends it would tend to drift wide so have stiffened it up front and back it handles a lot better now I did have the same issues with my MT-01 so I put a thicker fork oil in and will do this to the Max I think Yamaha do tend to put a very light weight oil in the forks this may be because the average Japanese rider will be 11st myself I am 17st 13lb :rollingno:

Thanks. In the meantime I found a US firm selling air suspension here

planetvmax.com/2009vmax/suspension/ufo-ground-assult/

Is it any good to achieve softer ride?

Thanks
