The shims in it can be changed to fine tune it, but best left alone. The RHS has a damper cartridge that provides both compression and rebound damping pretty consistently. So, I'm going to be putting it all back together over the next couple of days between shifts, so if anyone has any advise, please let me know.ĭave, you will never be able to get the two forks to act exactly the same. My PC is in getting fixed so I'm using a laptop without my bookmarks, BUT, I found a UTube video on tuning the forks to rebound the same by adding more or less oil, which I have done. I have 105mm of fork travel on each fork, when I push them down under my body weight (76kgs). Reason being for the extra oil in right fork was to create the same/similar rebound time in both forks. Right fork contained 350ml of oil - original spec's say oil amount is 385ml - replaced to 410ml Castrol 10W Left fork contained 400ml of oil - original spec's say oil amount is 435ml - replaced to 435ml Castrol 10W Left fork (N/S) (anti dive) was not as slow.įorks drained over night, washed out with petrol and dried. Right fork (O/S) was very soft hitting bottom, and a very slow rebound, Noted that the rebound on both original forks where different, once removed from the bike:. Front end handling on the RTE to Rylstone was very ordinary to say the least when cornering in the wet on the Putty Rd. Just changed the fork oil in my 94 Non abs, out of bike (have photo's and will write up) However, oil was black and smelly.
