My bike has fallen down its fork legs n cant get back up, any 1 have any ideas on how to lift this beast.
I have an Abba stand but no fixings for an RSV if anyone has some they would like to lend or sell Thumb up i need to get sorted by tommorow thats all.
:dunno
after deciding against sending the forks to be serviced and revalved due to the costs involved, i thought i would see why the front feels so harsh.
made a couple of tools to help
then proceeded to pull the internals out ready for new seals and fresh oil next week
dust seal was shot, main...
is it possible to fit later radial forks to a 2002 tuono r (ohlins model)? would i need the yokes too?
would the non radial discs fit?
would the non radial front wheel fit?
ta
Pair of forks, 7/10 condition. Slight discolouration to sliders, few marks to upper legs (mainly where yokes pinch it) It probably will look spot on once fitted with mudguards, yokes, fairing fitted etc.
Ideally suit a track bike, repairing a pranged RSVR, etc. These have recently been serviced...

bought a mint 5000 mile 2000 model RSVR a few weeks back. Unfortunately, not even had a chance to ride the damn thing yet as it's not mot'd. For the MOT it needs new fork seals.
My question is, whats the easiest way to drop the forks out? Normally I'd put the bike on an Abba stand and jack the...

HELP,
Just stripped my first fork, changed the oil put it back together. Went to put the preload back to its original settings and it screws in way too far (past flush). Also fork doesnt seem to have and compression on the rebound.
Any ideas before I strip it again?
I know it sounds a bit sad...
I have got my Showa forks off the bike the at moment, and they are approx 3 months old. (bought new off ebay)
I am debating if to change the fork springs for a hyperpro kit, or prehaps send them away to be serviced.
Question is am I wasting my time and money and should leave them?
How hard is...
I put a set of 2000 RSVR Ohlins forks on my Falco and went out for a rattle round the mountains. Everything was good and the front seemed a lot smoother and less harsh, so that's good.:thumbup
a few days later I was changing the oil and filter when I noticed oil on my front disc:eek: Looks...
Planned to service my Showa forks this week end. I have taken the forks out but there seems to be a problem with the outers. On each leg there are patches of oxidisation. Should I be worried about this or is it common on these forks?:confused:dowhat
Well, in an effort to try to persuade the Cornetto (07 Tuono R) to turn tighter I have been dropping the forks in the yokes a line at a time. I have been riding round with 3 showing for a month or so and it felt pretty good, but i still thought that there was a little more to come.
So dropped...
