Title: forks
Post by: aeronca on August 31, 2007, 12:28:57 PM
howdy all, question on servicing forks.?.? recently i had the worst wreck of my life,in front of my house,at a whoping speed of 4 miles per hour. all because my front end is wicked squishy( i hit the brakes, and guess the rest ). i dont have a manual, so i need to know how much and what kind of oil to put in my forks. and is there an adjustment in the botom for dampening?   thanks

No adjustment available on that fork...but some add a spacer to firm up the existing spring.

I will try and find the oil info when I get home tonight...I don't know it off the top of my head. :(

From my manual:

"Oil level is measured from the top of the tube with the fork spring removed and the leg fully compressed"

Depending on Vin
Up to 43523.................130mm, SAE 10
From 43524.................144mm, SAE 10W-40
