Hmmmm OK buddy. I guess that's a job for Monday then lol

Apologies to Kev... Sidestand and trolley jack... REALLY easy. Don't think i'd have fancied it for taking forks out, but removing caps/spacers and refitting them was a doddle.

WAs bored at home so took my little man for a bit of spannering. 15 mins job :)

Can you use two sets of spacers in the suspension or will cause other problems? When i put the spacer mod in my front end all i did was keep it on the side stand, then put it in the one on the right which then takes presure of the left hand one, well it work that way for me.

You need to fit a spacer or spacers to = the difference between the two spring lengths

So i went back to the standard springs with Kev spacers... If you ask me, i was right (for personal preference), whilst i accept the other springs are 'better' the difference is marginal and to be honest, it makes such a small difference most of the time.. it's just irrelevent.

I do really adore my xtx though :)

Front Forks
 

Can anyone help with the end size of the Damper rod tool # 90890-01326 ? inorder to seperate the inner fork tube from the outer. peering down the tube dosen't give any indercation. Thankyou Cheers Lahami

Use a air gun on the bottom bolt with the spring still intact & it will come apart. I have done this many times.

Sorry I do not know the size.

I was told by an old bike mechanic, if you need to seperate the 2 fork legs but can't get anything on the head of the bolt on the inside, to use a broom handle and hammer it in!

It works too! When I did the fork seals on my old Honda CG, I needed to pull them apart so I just got an old broom handle, hammered into the head of the nut at the bottom and it come apart.
