nc 30 front end

Post by troid » Fri Aug 07, 2009 1:03 pm

hi all

working on my bro's bike this weekend, going to pull the front forks out to reseal and oil, this there any point in different settings from standard eg pre-load, fork protrusion, different fork oil 10w maybe, i know it will depend on the riding style but 5w oil seems very thin to me

any advice would be greatful

the nc30 came with 2 types of forks, an early type and a later type.
the later type has more adjustment. TBH if you are only in the market for an oil change and not a full fork internals upgrage a thicker oil and a change in the air gap may be in order for a heavier rider. Grahame France is the bucko for this advice
