Re: Another hagon spring question to those who use them.
How easy is it do change the fork springs? I would love to put in hagon springs in my bike, but I don't want to annoy my dad by asking for his help or get in his way at his work (he always tells me to come down to his workplace to do stuff to my bike). I'm going to do the shock probably, kinda hoping my current rear shock can be used in the Honda VFR400 my dad is rebuilding

Re: Another hagon spring question to those who use them.
AFAIK, take the top cap off splurge out the oil, the spring follows, stick in new spring, put in new oil with recommended air gap...put on top cap...put back in bike away you go....but then YC makes it look easy

Don't forget to compress the forks several times to remove all the oil, same again on assembly to get all the oil in the right place before measuring the air gap. |

Re: Another hagon spring question to those who use them.
Who was asking about rebound n compression and stuff?
There are no settings, if you get a hagon shock there is a damping adjuster but that works on both. Oil weight mainly affects rebound on stock forks.
