TURBOVEE6

I Already installed the 5wt before i saw this post As i cannot find the balance kit and making one up will take some trial and error,what i think what i will do is get about 3 psi in both front forks then take two air chucks connect them together with a section of air hose and simultaneously press them on to the shrader valves to equalize the pressure. Thanks again for all your input !!!

Does anyone know if the Brass fittings in the fork cap are REMOVABLE?? As with a lot of parts (thermostats , bearings, oil filters, fittings) they are standard and used for other applications besides motorcycles, i would think that the part that threads into the fork cap(if it is removable) would be a standard thread pitch.

Thank you all for your input, i was thinking the same thing,but before i went and tore here all down wanted to have people with some knowledge put in their input. On order are head bearings fork seals and 5W fork oil which is what Yamaha calls for. As no one mentioned going thicker on the oil im going to guess 5W is what is preferred. As for those who recommended the shinko 777HDs , i have already mounted the 230 on the back so I am going to stick with it and see what kind of wear i get. At average of $85 a tire if i get 5000 out of it ill be happy,HECK until Avon quit making the Gangster WWW i was paying $200 EACH TIRE for my roady, so price isnt a prob and i do prefer a softer tire . ANy other input on this is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!! Thank you all again $teve

Thank you all for the warm welcome i have received, i just purchased my 1999 Yamaha Royal Star. I am not new to the Yamaha family as i have owned three. First one is my 2005 Road star i purchased it new in 2006 and have nearly 120,000 miles on her i have made quite a few mads including super wide white walls and 2" suspension lower. I also own a 2006 Yamaha V-Star 650 Custom, it is my brothers but i consider it mine as he hardly rides it, we bought both his bike and my road star together and in that time he has put about 10,000 on it of which probably 1/2 were by myself. The third yamaha i had was a 1982 Yamaha seca XS400 I bought it as a a project and ended up putting way more money into it than i would ever get out , i sold it 2 weeks ago and used that money to by my 1999 Royal Star Venture. I also have a 1997 Triumoph Daytona T-595 Now as for my suspension WOBBLE!!! I like to take turns fairly quickly i like to really lean into them, I have had to replace the floor board (Spurs i call them in the parts fiche they are called moles) twice on my roady. Anyhow riding it yesterday as i leaned into a turn it felt like the front forks TWISTED as i went into the turn, the bike bobbled but i caught her and got out of the lean i was in. So at the next stop light i turned handle bars to see if i could see anything loose like maybe the axle nut but all appeared to be good, then i took and shook the handle bars, rapid short left to right stroke and noticed the front wheel of the forks seemed to continue to wobble or twist AFTER i would stop. Also the faster i would do that the harder it appeared the bottom of the forks would twist and wheel shake. Has anyone expierienced this?? also ruts on the road seem to GRAB the tire and give the bike a wobble.I have D404 front and rear but am in oricess of ordering Shinko Tour master 230's. Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED thank you in advance and to all of you that celebrate HAPPY EASTER HAVE A GREAT DAY
