Fz1s Fork oil and steering grease repack.

[slimwilly]

Now it is a good idea to put a piece of rubber tube onto the threads of the dampers to pull them up and down later

I put 500ml of 5w oil in both, this left an air gap with springs removed and dampers down of just under 4"
Put springs back in

Wind down both clickers ontop of you caps and screw the caps back onto the dampers, lock the nuts and check you still have 26 clicks,adjust if not.

Now set the preload and damping to factory settings ,,or yours.


STEERING..

Now seemed a good time to check the steering bearings for grease.So same 32 mm socket to remove chrome top cap,
then lift off the lockring clip

Loosen the top nuts on stem to drop stem far enough to get grease into both ends, you lift the stem up to do the top ones

then reassemble all of it,,dont tighten the clamps too tight until its all together to allow the forks  to align themselves, do a visual across legs to see if in line,,


Double check all bolts,pump brakes ,check they work, take for a small ride,braking hard, then recheck bearings and all bolts..
