i recently bought an 05 seeg with 37000 miles on it, while riding i noticed the front end bounces ,after compressing it will bounce 3 to 4 times, wondering what could be causing this concern,air cyl?, fork oil?

Not that uncommon to be a little (or a lot) low on fork oil straight from the factory.  Nearly 40k it should be ready for a fork service anyway.  Cheapest solution to try is a bit heavier fork oil.  Most expensive but also most effective solution is a complete cartridge conversion of the front suspension.  Do a search under either AK-20 or Traxxion Dynamics.  They do the upgrades and it's a night and day difference when they do.

While the Traxxion set up is supposed to be really good, it's expensive.  I would start with 15W fork oil and see how you like it before investing the $s for the Traxxion set up

I went with Progressive springs and Bel Ray 15w fork oil.  Very happy with the results.
