fork

Just wondering how much of an improvment the Voodoo Fork brace will be over stock? Found a good deal on one and before I attempt a USD full setup I want to see if I can improve stock with bracing and progressive springs etc...

Ok guy's I hate to ask this 1. Can some 1 tell me what is the size allen key that fits my 1992 front forks top screw caps. I can not find this info online. I'm not trying to buy the hole allen socket key kit when all I need is 1. All I need is the right 1, I can order it online.

Ordered http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WK8VNQ/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title Maxima fork oil 15WT. Just to add little bit to existing oil. Instead received 10WT!! Maxima don't make 15 grade oil as i attached the proof of back label of this bottle! What the fuck?! No reply from sellers or from...

I'm trying to remove the forks from my 1986. There are two collars at the top right under the top clamp. these collars are connected by a tube that looks like brake line tube and balances the air pressure between forks. The collars will not come off. They will move from side to side but they...

i'm looking to replace mine. i found these to be very affordable. is there a difference between buying these and a 140.00 or so set? sorry i did some searching but didnt find anything. http://www.ebay.com/itm/171054261911?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Fork seals are leaking. would like to do the work myself how hard is this todo? Going to upgrade springs while its down.

I got this today and hadn't seen it before, it even stumped The Captain, with whom I spoke today. He hadn't seen one, either. I happen to like the air fork function on my 1992 40 mm downtube front end, it's so-nineteen-eighty's! I like being able to fine-tune the front end w/a bit of air...

Whats the odd of both fork seals leaking at the same time? I have a 2007 that i bought used and it has been lowered. shorter shocks and the front end was lowered down on the forks. Would this cause any problems with fork seals?

Hey guys I want to increase my damping in my front fork, so can you explain how to drain and fill the forks? What's the best weight oil to use? Thanks! PS I already have the progress of shocks in the back

got my progressive springs yesterday but have one question. in Sean's video on fork rebuild, 4.8 inches of p. steer fluid from top of compressed fork. it looks like he' are doing a later model fork. is it the same for the early model forks? thanks again, bill

so i was riding the other day and noticed on bigger bumps i could see the lower part of my front axle near the forks shimmy back and forth. When i say back and forth i mean like the axle is moving toward the oil filter. not much, probably less than 1/8". i took the hawk out today to see if it...

Hi there I am new to this forum having just purchased a 1985 (1986 year model) Vmax recently imported from the US. It is missing the "tuning fork" emblems either side of the dummy tank/airbox cover. I want to put the correct ones on and have just had a pair of poor quality copies sent from the...

Anybody have a UFO fork brace on their 'Max? I'm wondering if it has any impact on the handling characteristics. Also, do you need to remove the front wheel to install one since it appears to be significantly wider than the stock brace?

My forks were leaking on my 91 max, took them to get rebuilt. The guy calls me today and says the bushings that are on the inside that has teflon on outside, he said was a 40mm ID and a 41mm OD cannot be found. He has called racetech and everyone else he knows..........Honestly Im not sure...

Diagnosed the Vmax today. Evidently I broke the crank. I'm not rebuilding it again, so she's for sale. If she wont sell in a month on CL I'll part her out on here. Got a lot of good parts.

Hi guys. I would like to know what you guys use for front fork oil. I have heard some say transmission and some say power stearing fluid. What do you think is best ?

I just bought a 2005 Vmax. The guy I bought it from said he had just replaced leaking front fork seals. When I road it home I was surprised how stiff it road. I watched the front forks and they did not compress at all over bumps. It has progressive springs but even they should compress, right ...

Hi Guys- I'm running stock Tires on a 06'. According to my manual, for my weight, I should have 33 Front and 36 Rear. That's cold Temp. Any idea what that's equivalent in warm Temp? Also.. I was told that I could put as much as 21 PSI in my forks. Does that seem high? I thought i read...

Before I spend the 60 bucks I was wondering if the fork brace is REALLY actually worth the money and does what it says... I figured if im spending the money to get a bunch of stuff anodized including stock fork brace I might as well buy the COO one and get it anodized instead

Just curious if there is another "oil" I can use in the forks? Manual calls for 10w fork oil but before running to cycle shop, I was wondering if there is an equivalent substitute. Thanks! Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk 2
