Now check the oil level in the forks, ideally 140mm for stiffer springs. Check with springs out and forks fully compressed.Do you know what weight oil the mechanic used? Removing the springs will result in a slight drop in oil. Try to allow as much as possible to drain off the springs back into the forks as possible.
I think he used 10W. Or 15W. Don't know, I'd need to ask him about that.
Regarding the oil level, he followed kebab's guide:
Quote:[size=1em]13. Once in place, pour about 250-300ml of your fork oil in. What weight to go for? Racetech mention ether 15W or 20W for the TRX forks. I'm about 73kgs so went with the lighter 15W oil. Now pump fork up & down (slowly, about 15 times) and enjoy the gurgling noises.[/size][size=1em]14. Now add remaining oil. How much in total? Well, I have again gone with data similar to the TRX. Their forks use 483ml per leg (early Fazer 475ml). The emulators displace volume, but exactly how much is unknown. Most TRX owners use about 440ml per leg, so just over 40ml less than standard. For the Fazer, I have started with 430ml - 45 less than standard. I realise that Fazer fork oil height is usually a critical setup factor, but the introduction of the emulators changes all this. Besides with no one else having tried this I had to start somewhere……[/size]
How do I set static or laden sag ?
Just with preload ?
