foulkesy Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Hi I am going to overhaul my Upside down forks on my 00 Rev 3. Any tips greatly appreciated. They are weeping slightly so seals are going to be replaced but would like info on set up.I have the levels from the Beta site. One area of confusion (it does'nt take much) for me is which fork is classed as the left one, looking at the bike from the front or looking at the bike from ride position. Also tips on the rear paoli suspension set up adjustments would be good if anyone has info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liviob Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I guess it would depend on which way you were looking at the bike. The fork leg on the clutch lever side holds the spring and compression valving, and the fork leg on the throttle side controls all rebound damping control. Have you tried using a small piece of camera film to clean the dirt out of between the fork seal and the chrome fork tube. Somtimes this will stop a fork seal from leaking and save a rebuild.

matt_urban Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) does it not take the same in both legs ? if it takes more in one leg its the one with rebound that takes more oil and if it says left its left from the front Edited February 20, 2010 by matt_urban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foulkesy Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Thanks for the replies, me and simmsy or should say simmsy whipped the forks of today as after a good ride I was getting no rebound!! Up to Barry at AB they are going as work is getting in the way of our Hobby!! That cannot be right!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liviob Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) Sorry to hear they quit working. Possibly all of the oil has leaked out. Allowing an experianced suspension tech to service them may be a good choice. Edited February 21, 2010 by Liviob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
