what is the length of the standard forks, from the centre of the axle to the top edge of the fork cap.
Quote from: ArchDruid on 10 March 2019, 11:13:52 am what is the length of the standard forks, from the centre of the axle to the top edge of the fork cap.It's about 810mm, and unfortunately I also have uprated springs in mine. Most importantly, they have 140mm of travel. With the rider on board, you're roughly looking for between one quarter to one third of travel being used up. One quarter of travel (35mm) will feel firm-ish, one third of travel (46mm) will feel soft. You could go even firmer (down to 30mm) but wouldn't go softer than 46mm.I put a block of wood under the exhaust pipes, jack it up and then measure the length of exposed stanchion from underside of yoke down to the fork seal. Then off the block & measure again.
You guys mention uprated springs.... As with the fork lengths queried above, I cant seem to find any info in the Haynes manual on the standard spring rates (only the spring free length is given, 344mm)So... any info on the std spring rates, and more importantly, what did you put in instead ?
