  1. I broke my plunger case and anti dive unit on my left fork. Bought a used one. i installed it and while I was at it I installed new seals, bushings plus new fork oil. Out and about on my bike and i notice that my forks are starting to bottom out. I adjusted the anti dive switch on the left side of the bike up to number 3 setting. I but 14 psi in the front and 21 psi in the rear. Front does not hold pressure.. I have oil leaks. i put in 400 ml of fork oil. I only did one side because it cost $130 to do one side. Any ideas or suggestions.

  2. hi all. I took my bike (1989) for its maiden run. I crashed the bike and i have damaged the plunger case and anti dive unit. Both are cracked. Lost all my fork oil on left side. Do i need any special tools to take the forks apart. Has anybody had this problem and repaired it. New unit here in Nova Scotia is $500. Since she went down on her maiden voyage I am going to name her "Titanic". 56 year olds don't bounce like the young guys.

     

    Is it possible to use a cover plate on the left side - so bike is driveable - until i can get the part. don't want to be without transportation for a couple of weeks.

  3. what side of the motorcycle is the oil sight glass on. i just changed my oil and can't find the sight glass. I know that it should be on the right side motorcycle down low but i cannot find it. used some wd 40 and i was able to find the sight glass. my oil level is about 3/4 the way up the sight glass. is that acceptable?
