Re: front forks...what the solution?????
checked the manual, 10 w oil plus 490cc of fork oil......would i be right in saying the the 490cc is for the 2 forks and not per fork....doesnt state that in the manual..... almost 500cc of oil is alot for the one fork....petrolhead19 wrote:If you tip the forks upside down and look down them you will see a bolt in the middle (allen key bolt)
Take that out and use a funnel to put the fluid in, and im pretty sure its 15w oil you need.
Good luck mate
off to get oil and some thread lock too.
thanks to all contributers.
400grey is a wealth of info

Re: front forks...what the solution?????
sorted..... 
put in 250 ml in each fork and put in 10psi then with foot pump....handles better by far...... just quick note though. would i be right in saying the 20mm hole in the fork holders on the right side as you sit on bike is route for front brake hoses?
cheers guys. case closed....ha ha
