Title: '88 fork setup for supermotard
Post by: supermotard500 on November 29, 2003, 12:29:53 AM

Hy Guys,

I have to change fork oil and while the fork is open I would like to change spring preload with a spacer, the viscosity of the oil and the air chamber volume (is this the right translation?).

Does anyone have advice for me or for these parameters?

My weight is 60 kilos.

can anyone tell me the stock setup?

I found a service manual lately but it's for the '86 KX5. Better than nothing but suspension is quite different.
