It's one thing to be an idiot, quite another to speak up and prove it. but....

I misread the label about fork pressure and put 30psi in the front forks. Just to stiffen them up a bit.. you know?? Well, they were stiff.. for awhile, now they have no air and very little oil apparently.. running thru the gears is like riding a bronco...

I put 3 psi in tonight.. smooth ride home, dont know if it will stay. I'm open to suggestions for repair path.. Thanks in advance

:doh:

I rebuilt my front forks and added progressiven springs, along with new forkbushings and orings for under 200 bucks.,



As far as Dennis saying ride it for 300 miles to see if it leaks I say Bull Roar :shock:.I found mine leaking in the first 5 miles...:cheeky1:. I took it apart and replaced the seal, correctly and 2500 miles later it fine
