If you can get the front wheel out ( watch for the speedo driver ) the next step of removing the fork legs is usually easier. Just remember to loosen the fork caps a little before undoing other bolts. Try to flush as much carp out as possible & then just take your time getting the air gap right. If you weigh more than 8 stone, you would also benefit from heavier springs. Reassembly is reverse of what you've just done - best of luck!  |
As far as i know its never been done so its like riding a marshmallow! Thanks for the smell warning. How would i flush out all the carp?

FWIW, I'd rather do the job properly and drop the forks out. It's not that difficult if you can support the front of the bike and you can drain the forks completely.

Proper job would be what i would like to do but have low spannering experience so dont want to make it worse and snap/bust stuff.
