Fork Spring Upgrades

Patric and I did his this morning NOT per the Haynes manual and if you have crash bungs fitted I have two specially made stands that enables you to do the job easily

ANYBODY WANTS TO BORROW THEM JUST ASK

Thank you very much mac!
You did an ACE job!

Your way is a lot better than the haynes way


We only put 450ml of oil in each side. I just searched the forum and it's supposed to be 490ml...

ah well. all i can say is that my front suspension feels perfect now.

nice 1 mac.

i can do oil changes, air filter changes, brake servicing and fitting end cans
if anyone wants my service,

i am currently plucking up the courage to change my spark plugs at the moment.

Warren, its not courage you need it is just a correct size plug spanner
Good on you mate having the guts to start doing a bit your self,because as you become more proficient you realise just how much the garages are charging for such simple[to my mind] maintenance tasks

Even removing the fairings, changing the oil and filters,adjusting your chain saves
loads of dosh when you have a service done Keep it up it gets easier the more you do

Mac

yeah, i realised that when i changed my CCT, saved 40 quid.

i got the correct size spanner, but the bit that puts me off, is the fact that the sparks are about 10 inches inside the cyclinder head.
(much easier to do on my 125)
and the fact that i need to remove the tank, and remove the radiator too-draining the coolant to get to the little feckers. (i dont have a fuel tank -so ive gotta allow for some petrol spillage) as well as removing sh*t loads of fairing panels.

So mac can do my forks and warren can do my brakes.... excellent

just pop it round to me ian.

of course im expecting a go of your z1000 in return when you get it

Socket[plug size] 12" extension bar and one mousesh1t--thats smaller than a ratchet

haha you'll be waiting a while
