How much oil do y'all put in for mkll forks? Best I could find is 300ml
-
I'm coming up with a blank there, I wonder if Progressive themselves wouldnt be able to answer this question.
ill contact skydoc and see what he says thank you.
-
Did the package come with some flat washers in about the same diameter? I did mine last fall so trying to remember. I remember the shouldered washers that just dont fit back into the ID of the Progressive springs, IIRC there is a baggie with a couple flat washers in the box with the springs, I think I used those instead. I remember searching and not finding answers so I rolled with it.
no flat washers came with it
-
so the progressive springs i bought from skydoc, the top hat washer dose not fit. any advice?

Welcome!!! i have only been here a few months and i am still working on my front break upgrades. i asked alot of the questions you are going to ask see Venture vs royal in the MK1 threads.

Im looking for the most provocative fender ornament, nothing extreme. more along the lines of female with well endowed chest area. Or "revealing poses"
-
i would pay you for this, please keep us updated!!!
-
Thank you!! i love the adornment on the fender!!
-
Will some one please post a picture of the front tire. I think I'm missing a spacer buy I don't know what it is suppose to look like. Thank you!!!
-
how much goes in each fork?Just go ahead and use any standard 10 weight fork oil, just remember that you will be putting less oil in the tubes as the progressives take up more volume in the tubes due to the spring diameter...0.02

There are a few threads on here about guys exchanging MkI forks for the MkII's. MkII lowers will fit the R1/R2 calipers and the forks are a straight swap. Be advised that the anti-dives on the MkI are hydraulically activated while the MkII anti-dives are electric. This means the springs should be upgraded to progressive ones which don't need working anti-dives. The forks you pictured are unlikely to fit as well as 1st gen forks, stick with what works.
What's the recommended oil for mk2 forks with progressive springs?
-
pictures are bad sorry heres a update

There is a spring clip under the air fitting. It comes off easily with no tool required.
I found the spring clip, so It should just slide up or down after that? mine are stuck

Im a vary new street rider, but when I road dirt bikes I sometimes got a wiggle vary similar. the only thing I ever found to correct the bike is to lean the bike as far over as I could and turn the bars with the lean. I know its not always possible but it might help some one. so from what I can decipher is that when I lean hard it forces the obtuse angle between forks and frame, which puts more G forces on the bike vs fork. I found this force is greater than what Is causing the wobble (obvesly wont work in all situations) please experts let me know what you think.
-
started removing the forks, but got stuck when I found (and I assume that this is ) the air system. I cannot figure out how to get them off. pinch bolts are all loose. and the cross hose and supply line are disco from the bike. but getting the forks past the lower mount will require these air things to be removed I think. just don't know how. any advice?

I wasn't sure because I know the clock on royals are usually underneath the CMS but on the 83's I was thinking it looked pretty much the same as my dash on my standard. There is a few Ebay post that say 83 royal but the clocks are underneath instead of on top. I was trying to scavange some rotors for Matt and the motorcycle I have been eyeing for parts is a royal and it has the same dash as mine. Sad the only thing wrong with that bike is it has no title.... It has the second gear fix and about 32000 on it I believe. I have been trying to buy it for the parts but the guy won't let go of it because of morons in the past trying to title things that didn't have a title... Never fails always someone got to ruin it for someone else. But anywho I will get that rim w/rotors and junk tire ordered Friday I will probably have them ship it to you Matt.
Ok ill pull it and ship it out. do you need the speedo line?
-
There isn't going to be much difference in the value of a Royale vs. a Standard. Things like condition, mileage etc. will probably affect the value more than the equipment options.
All of the powertrain and structural parts are the same. Most of the body and electrical parts are also the same. Your fastest and cheapest way to get a rider is probably to use parts from the Royalle to complete the Standard. You could even move the Royalle options if you want them.
If your goal is to turn a profit don't bother with a restoration. They're worth more in parts than as running motorcycles.
what is the difference between the dashes?

In most cases, couldn't you just clean and repack the existing bearings? Doesn't seem to me they would get much wear.
I could, but from what I read and seen, the bearings wear thin grooves into the races. Im sure mine haven't been lubed in the last 20 years. So replacing them to get mine up to normal maintenance standards might be the best option. ill post pics of what they look like when I get them off.
-
That's the brand I used, but not that kit. I bought mine separate. The kit package is probably less expensive. Bike Bandit is a good company to deal with.
do you mean you buy the bearings and races separately?
