Ive just put some 15w oil in my 2001 forks with pre load adjusters.
465ml measured out correctly.


Pumped the forks to release air bubbles.
After 10 minutes each leg sitting i measured the air gap


It was way off the specified 132mm (at least 15 > 20mm off)
Should i add more oil to make the air gap the correct height or just leave the measured out 465ml

Thanks

Just a heads up for anyone at a loose end on Sunday. Bikes start to leave Tattenham Corner on Epsom Downs Surrey at 8am. This is for pre-1915 bikes and usually attracts between 200 to 300 entrants. Currently the weather forecast is good for Sunday both at Epsom and the destination which is Brighton.

as above does anyone have good  one spare for sale please thanks stu--

Hi , so i want to take off my mirror stem off the clutch side of the handle bar mount and put this ( sat nav ) ram ball mirror mounted thread in the mirror stem hole.  the seller says to make sure the female thread dims of the receiving hole are suited to the ram ball thread listed
. but lists a very few bikes that are suited but that doesnt mean that its not a bit more universal than the listings maybe?.


anyone help on this, the thread and dims are listed in the ad , link below.
i dont know if the clutch lever mirror mount is suited or even how to find out ?
thanks in anticipation.

picking up daves (dynspud) fazer 600 early tonight, and my 1000 let me down this morning. unless its summat simple ill be useing the 600 for a bit for my commute. Always loved those early bikes (got duffed up by one on my gixxer 1100 when they came out) so its kinda cool I finally get to ride one..

key in, datatool disarmed, ignition on, neutral light up , wait til fuel pump clicking stops, hit the button. nothing. leave it for a bit try again. neutral light on again but no fuel pump clicking, though it could be primed now. still nothing. sigh. the joys of running old bikes..Anyhoo ill have a cup of tea and then get out and check the obvious (fuse, sidestand switch) first..
Picking up dynspuds 600 today. that could be fortuitous.. :lol
