But no, i have no idea when the forks were last filled or what not, since at least when i bought it 3 seasons ago n about 8000 miles.. is that too long? and i remember the guy i bought it from said he did the fork seals but i dont know what else..
This is probably what your problem is then. The oil has probably degraded into a watery smelly mess and that's no good. The regained confidence in your bike will be well worth the investment and time. TRUST ME.

Putting a YZF600 front end on is the most expensive option. The investment is not in the bike, it's in your safety. Do what you want, but don't complain about the results, crash damage, or medical bills. Personally I'd remove the forks, change the oil, goto the Race Tech site and use their calculator for what spring you'll need, buy it, install it, put it all back together, test.
