chilly Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I have just bought a pair from ebay and am confused! they are both a bit leaky so i will be fitting new seals and oil but one of them has about 2cms of up down movement before any spring resistance is felt! surely this is wrong. is there a diagram of the fork internals anywhere i could ave a look at? also,ebay fork seals are 35x47x7 but motohaus leak proof seals for the same thing are 35x47x10. i would like to get the seals before i start pulling them apart so i don't have them lying about in bits for ages. another also! any info on weight and amount of oil per leg would be appreciated. ta very much guys n gals.

chilly Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 update.i have separated the fork with 2 cms of play in it and it looks like it has 2 seals in it. is this correct? i am going to give them a good soak and clean before i remove the old seals but all seems to be going pretty well at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilly Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 well i managed to get one fork seal out (completely destroyed in the process)and there is another one underneath! i think i will just leave it there as it is doing no harm.

chilly Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 oh yes,the 2 cms of movement are due to the fact the spring is snapped about 2" down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
