Fork oil

ST4 · 05-Oct-2003, 15:56

Planning to change the fork oil on the ST4. presumably the forks have to come out of the yokes to do it? Anyone know if i need any special tools to dismantly the legs or is it simply a case of undoing the preload thingy and turning the fork upside down to drain the oil?

Paul

PS Nelly, do you sell fork oil?

I think you'll find that you do, if only to make a really, really annoying job into a relatively sensible one.....speak to Neil.

Cheers Andy. Looks like the blooming fairing has got to come off yet again then!
How did Portugal go?

Yes Paul I sell the oil.
As far as tools go, it's a little more involved that uncrewing the preload thingy as the oil height needs to be set with the spring, spacers etc removed.
Although not essential, there are a couple of very useful tools that make the job relatively straight forward.

That's what I said....I think!:P

Paul - it was great but I preferred Spain...it's safer!

Cheers
