YSS PD valves

I was just going to reuse the copper washers- they dont appear to be deformed so fingers crossed. Ive taken the opportunity to strip and rebuild the forks completely along with re-spray and laquer so they now look like new. Will take pics along the way :-)

Yeah mine could do with a respray but I was going to make sure they were set up properly before I do it, in case I chip or damage them while I'm messing about with them. I hope to get the front of the engine, radiator, frame cross rails and engine mounting bracket done this year. That'll be much easier with the front end off, so I'll maybe do the forks while they're out. The centre stand and torque arm need doing too and the wheels. I've bought the paint, it's time I seem to lack. The house needs work too.

Just out of interest, what gap is there supposed to be between the top of the spring and the top of the fork when they're fully extended? My springs came about up to the threaded part of the leg.

Just as an update it is the earlier sv650 fork springs that are required for this- 98-02 carb SV650 linear springs. I will be doing my forks over the next week hopefully :-)

@vinnyb will be interested to see how you get on / what you think !

Just to say that the fork springs arrived, they were exactly the same length as the original springs and therefore I had to trim the spring spacers by 16mm to account for the valve emulators.

any further on with this how did it ride im in the middle of collecting the parts to do it got the emulators and damper rods so will be doing it this weekend all being well
