Following advise from this forum I finally did some changes to the front suspension:
- change fork oil with 10w
- leave air gap at 10mm
- drop top yoke by 10mm
The result is a noticeably quicker cornering, less dive when braking and more "solid" handling.
Not a bad result for the price of some fork oil and 5-6 cups of tea.

I think you might have a leak in your forks if you can get the oil AND 6 cups of tea in them. If you have to keep topping them up check the seals!!

Tesco Finest teabags - good for fork oil change... make sure you always carry some under the seat.
