Do it right
Fit a set of cartridges in them
Around £500 but worth it

I bought some stiffer springs and heavier oil from The Tuning Works for some Rgv forks in the past, and they made a huge difference - really nice forks after fitting those  Dusty  |

As Steve says. Andreani make a kit for these and its sold by TTW, thats what i have to fit in one of mine. I have high hopes as meant to be good kit.
I do expect that just springs and oil would help tho.
While forks are very complex in how they work on/with each bike setup. Its simple to think about what bike youre fitting it on. how the weight is over the front end, how much weight there is compared to the RGV etc. Ie on an LC you dont sit 'over' the forks, so less rider weight than the RGV etc.

What Jonw said 😁
RGV forks are soft on an RGV never mind on an RD which is heavier
As said you can buy varying kits from TTW or EBay
I went the Maxton route. Gave my weight and told them what they were going on and they did the rest. Added rebound damping adjusters too

I would love to put a cartridge kit in them but that's just out of budget at this point, and I may change the forks in the future, I have to do the seals so thought it would be a good idea to put stiffer springs in as it seams way to soft at the moment
