Seized fork compression adjusters

[PieEater]

Good point, I'll do that when I get home. Is there a downside to applying heat with the adjusters in situ? Boiling the fork oil probably isn't a good idea?

The search facility on these forums is a little clunky but if you were to search for seized adjusters in the Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner section you'd see that this is a pretty common issue with a successful outcome not always guaranteed. From what I've read following Mike's advice of trying to bathe the adjusters in penetrating fluid and using a correctly sized screwdriver to rotate the adjusters back and forwards over a few days is the best way to go. If you don't fancy taking the forks off and setting up a reservoir it looks like Luke (DevilsYam) managed to find some rubber tubing which fitted over the adjuster housing which he topped up with paraffin (I think) with the forks in place. It looks like heat and cold have been tried but not with great results.
