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 see a film on the dust seal.. never saw a drop or squirt.. i did see oil in the valve when I checked pressure.

Well.. the spring thing is another matter.. I'm a big boy.. I'm considering the progressive spring thing, but not till winter... just got the wing, after 40 yrs on 4 wheels. Still getting used to it..

thanks for the advise.. gonna ride most of the weekend.. we'll see how it goes..
