where did you get your springs from?

 

I believe stock is 7.5.



Did you go with .48 or .50 springs?

 

50 spring and 10 wt oil 3 1/2 inch from the top.

 

50 spring and 10 wt oil 3 1/2 inch from the top.

So only 3.5" of air space? Wow, thats a lootta oil.



But 10w for sure... if you went with the heavy springs.

3 and a half inches from the top did you push the fork down (collaps it )befor you measured it? And thats with the spring out also.

don

 

the spring was it we had it standing up on the bench the lowed the outer part of the fork down to 3.5 inches then filed it up geting the bubles out along the way.



do u do it with the fork all the way compresed then filling it up so odviosly uses alot less oil?



cheers

 

ok- take the fork outter pushing all the way down bottoming it out. then put oil in until it comes 3 1/2 inches from the top with no air bubbles, and then from that point you should bealble to put the spring in it and put it back together. But do make sure you bleed the air bubble out of it.
