NC24 | Fork service | Replacement Assistance

Post by Gregmeister » Fri Sep 26, 2014 10:39 am

Hi All,

I've recently replaced my back shock and now need to move onto the front,

Currently the front doesn't shoot back, which means there is some absorption left in them, BUT i also found that there was no Gas in them, Empty.... - Being empty, will that make them more spoungy?

I really don't want to have to remove them and replace seals if I don't have to,
Anyone experienced front forks with no gas? how do they feel?

Thanks in advance

its an nc24, itll be spongy whatever you do, they were lie pogo sticks from the factory when you compare them to modern day forks.

Still a good-overhaul and some new springs should see an improvement. make sure you use genuine Honda forkseals if you want to put some air in them, only 8psi.. like one bicycle pump stroke is all it takes.
