Title: need some info on fork seal
Post by: teamGreenshredda16 on September 02, 2009, 11:05:28 AM

hey guys i noticed the other day one of my fork seals was leaking
i just ordered some new ones and the guy i bought the bike from said he had the suspension resprung and revalved for a 150 pound rider (which is perfect for me lol)
but when i do replace it do i have to worry about is messing up how it was done before?
like when i do the work do i have to worry about any special setting?
thanks for the help, and im saying sorry in advance if this has been brought up before.

When you replace the fork seal the only setting you have to worry about are the clicker settings and the oil level.  All else is permanent (so to speak).   Before you disassemble turn all the clickers fully CW and record the settings.  After the rebuild, set the oil level to stock (a good place to start) and then set the clicker back to where they were. Hope this helps. Cam.
