Front Fork Servicing - how?
How quick/easy is it to do and how long does it take?
Are there any parts that must be changed or can they be re-used, I am a big fan of re-using seals if they are OK. |

Re: Front Fork Servicing - how?
Unless your seals are leaking the only thing you need to do is change the oil.

Re: Front Fork Servicing - how?
So no need to strip completely? just take the caps off and change the oil?

What you mean, the guy I bought it from used to race it so uprated the front springs as well as the tyres and rear shock etc. He said there was K-techs in there and he seemed genuine enough |

Re: Front Fork Servicing - how?
A lot of bikes use spring in one leg, damper in the other, other bikes (mine included) splits the compression into one side and the rebound in the other.
None of these pull to one side under braking. With the piddly compression damping the stock internals can generate I would look elsewhere for your pulling to one side issue.
