Hi Dave, any tips for finding the service manuals for parts that are several decades old? They sometimes seem to no longer be offered by mfrs.
@mikecain56519 сағат бұрын
If you had them on your bike back in the 80,s you had a spare bit of cash in your pocket, As they weren't cheap, Which is why a lot of people went for Koni,s as they were a damm sight cheaper,

Stradas! They did have a reputation for feeling a little 'dead' depending on the mass of the bike they were fitted to. Better than the average new Jap stock shock and the less flash Girlings but not as responsive as Konis.

Great video and well explained. Could I please ask what size cap top tool you used? I measured it at 50mm but there is also a 48mm tool. knowing my luck I will get the wrong one. I've looked at the number stamped at the bottom of the fork leg but I can't find a tool to match that up. FL9210 2015. Thanks.

Being an old man, I remember struggling doing wheels in my old CB and Zed 750’s. But so thankful for progress! You have forgotten to fit the hinge in the middle of the frame and you need to film Rob setting fire to it when he connects the battery and watch the old school Suzuki wiring disappear in a cloud of smoke😂 Oh and poor action lubing your spindles!!!

Put the rear spindle in the other way round to support all the spacers on the disk side first, it makes no difference whatsoever once nipped up.

Great series Dave, I had an 1100 of the same vintage it had an alloy swing arm, air forks and shocks with damping adjustment!! Cost me £2650 brand new 😲 I was stopped by the police for excessive speed so many times I lost count.... but always let off! Those were the days. Silver with blue pinstripes it taught me all about more power than handling 😂...some brave souls raced them, when superbikes didn't have fairings and wide bars were needed to keep them kinda under control. Thanks for filming editing and posting. ATB Alistair 👍
@obsession_engineering3 күн бұрын
Alloy swing arm, you flash bugger! But I assume it didn't transform the handling
@peterfalconer-h3k3 күн бұрын
I had a silver 1100 though it had green stripes from memory and it constantly had me in trouble with the cops.. In superbikes GSX1100's were the king here in Australia in the early eighties, a set of Keihin carburetors and an assortment of Yoshimura parts along with some frame bracing and suspension changes made a great race bike.
@peterfalconer-h3k3 күн бұрын
@@obsession_engineering It looked good but your assumption is correct, any improvement in their handling would have been marginal. That said though, steering head bearing tension was their biggest bugbear, if you got that right their handling was as good as anything else around in those days.

The washer above the oil seal looks to large to me , it looks like it will foul the seal as it’s to tight around the stanchion, and the forks are air assisted if memory serves me well pressure is about 11psi for normal riding
@brockett4 күн бұрын
A well explained process with no BS. It is truly amazing the difference a fork refresh can make. I stripped and rebuilt 1998 XJ600n forks, new bushes, seals and oil and the forks are every bit as good as they need to be for a road going bike. In fact it gives a nicer ride than my Z900RS.
