Front fork oil change - simmo - 25-01-2007
Has anyone changed the oil if so how, that seems to the only thing I have not had a go at on a Busa.
Cheers Robert

yea but got the suspension bloke to do it when he re-sprung the forks. If you havent done that I strongly reccomend you do, suspension is way overlooked in favour of bling. you got a top tech in sydney for it to. guy who does race tech installs. <i></i>

Frank rebuilt my Showa shockie on the Triumph and did a great job at a reasonable price.
His workshop is down Campbelltown way.
If it is just the front fork oil that you want to replace, I am sure the manual on CD will tell you how to do it and what to use.

Anyone have a Number or address for bike tech? (yes I did a net search)
I had a look at fixing my leaking seals myself but I would need to buy some special tools that I will most likely never use again, besides I may get some extra work done after we have a talk.

forks - spamanglenn - 28-01-2007
I pulled my forks and had them done by frank.1 kg springs ,reshim the valving to suit and good oil $400.Huge difference in ride quality and feel.1.1kg springs would be better for a standard weight bike. <i></i>
