Fork woes

[wdavis]

Ok i put new fork seals in and refilled with atf when i go over a hole or when fork fully exstends it bangs any ideas thanks. Bill :head bang:

How much oil did you put back in, and are you running any air?

 

[wdavis]

Yes to both questions filled per manual and running about 30lbs.thanks.Bill

Try dropping it down to about 5psi. Forks don't need much air pressure.

Ditto on what slabghost said I dont run but about 10 lbs myself, but start at 5lbs and see what you got

If your running the stock springs they are probably just tired, shouldn't need that much pressure.

With the Progressive springs I run 0 psi with 20wt fork oil and it's nice.
It's well worth the upgrade.

 

[wdavis]

Thanks for all the input ill try dropping air pressure and see what happens.

 

[bcassel]

Max pressure for front forks is 21 lbs, psi. at what you've got in there, you may have already blown your new seals.

 

[slabghost]

Has the pressure drop helped?

 

[wdavis]

Slabghost. Didn't have time to check ill try today and get back.
