NC35 fork question

Post by v4hrc »

I stripped my forks down to replace the leaking fork seals, also replacing the springs and bushings while I'm in there. The only problem is that I didn't have the Haynes manual (I have a factory manual for an identical set of forks form another model) and I didn't RTFM before starting dis-assembly. :oops: I removed the damper adjuster from the damper assembly, now I'm trying to figure out how far down to thread it onto the damper rod before tightening the locknut. The manual states to not remove the rebound damping adjuster.

If I thread it down all the way I only have about 7 clicks total adjustment. I know I can correct this by threading it further up the damper rod before tightening the locknut, the only thing I'm trying to figure out is how many total clicks of rebound these forks have?

NC30 and NC35 have 15 clicks as standard.

Yes its a complete balls job to try and get the dampeing set right, but as above, 15 clicks from fully out / in is the correct setting.

If you move the locknut you can thread more or less onto the cartridge rod as you mentioned, once you have one setup, if you count the number of threads exposed below the lock-nut you shuold be able to set the other one to the same and have it more or less spot on.
