half a tire right Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Curious about the correct spacer length for the left tube??? Done all the ajustment's and changed oil to 5wt,,still feels a bit too stiff. Wondering if the previous owner put in a longer spacer than should be. I'm a little guy and so was the original owner,but I can roll down a hill and stab the front brake,, with all my weight ,and they only compress about maybe 3inches. I back out all pressure and no pre-load,It just seems a bit too livley. Normal??? or should I cut a bit off the spacer or gain a few more pounds?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikee Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I've got the fork seal to do on my 97 techno. i will measure the spacer when they are apart and let you know.. last time i did them i only put 340 ml of oil and this was fine for me .

Thanks, I was talking to my Brother this am and he re-minded me to check the new one he got when he replaced the spring on his 99' he never used,and sure crap it's about 3/4 of an inch shorter than mine. I'll swap them out and see if that's it. I'm a bit leary though,, as to not using the recomended amount of 360cc of oil . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
