Default Replacing fork springs.

i want to upgrade the springs in my 1999sv650sx. ive looked at a set of hagon ones. do i need to replace the fork seals when replacing the springs? also what is the recommended amount of oil for the forks? ive saw the listing for the 2nd and 3rd gear wire cutting. is it worth doing it?
many thanks in advance

Default Re: front forks

No need to replace seals unless dismantling the forks, which you don't need to do *just* to replace springs and change oil.

Good evening all.


Order the Hagons with their recommended oil, & fill to their recommended oil level. I've fitted hundreds of sets. They're top notch, & you wont regret it.


Cheers.
