rgvlc Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Hi. I have a 95 Techno with Paioli USD forks. Just replacing my fork seal on the right fork leg and noticed a damping adjuster underneath the leg by the axle clamp, I always thought they only had the top ( rebound ) adjuster on the right fork leg. Is this normal???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerorev3rev4 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 are you sure it isnt the oil drain screw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgvlc Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Definetly an adjuster, It has a blue anodised allen headed bolt with a brass flat head screw within it, the screw turns with noticeable clicks as you turn it.

dan williams Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 It doesn't sound familiar to me. Maybe you've got some factory prototype forks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyt Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I think it is a preload adjuster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgvlc Posted November 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Preload is on the other ( left ) leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0007 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Huh, mine just has a little drain screw So yours has no damping adjuster on top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgvlc Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 It would be nice if they were, although the rest of the bike seems very stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan williams Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Since they were going with "right side up" forks the next year any prototype USD forks would likely just get bolted to a production machine once the decision was made on the '96. My guess is you got one of those, "Hey, Mario, wadda ya want to do with these prototypes?" "Bolt them to a bike. We've got no other use for 'em."

Or is it more like "Hey Luigi, where the hell did my cool factory race forks go?, they were here on the bench with all the standard forks a minute ago" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
