    I am in the process of replacing the springs in my forks and have noticed something that doesn't make sense based on information I've seen for fork rebuild info. My current forks have RaceTech 1.0 (or higher) springs, and I am replacing with stock springs (due to my weight) from some spare stock...

    I haven't compared the TLS forks with the ones in this video, but can I use this video from Delboy's garage to rebuild my forks without using the specialized tools?

    I'm in the middle of installing new fork springs and seals in my forks. I was about to compress the spring to reinstall the fork cap when the little pin, spring, and ball fell out. I have no idea how it all goes back together. I assume something wasn't right before I ever took the forks apart...

    This is a bad picture through the windscreen from a larger picture. Notice how much "Blue" is showing. I only had about 1" ring up on my 1st TLR. This one is set a little over 3 showing, It seems when I was test riding it to be soft. There are no signs of leaking forks at all. Milage is 9400...

    Ok, I'm replacing the stock springs, spacers & oil in my S forks with the 'Busa/R ones but what oil and height should I use :O Not altering shims or stacks etc just the springs/spacers and oil. I know (thanks Sam!) the R springs are 20mm shorter and will have to cut the S spacers (?) to match...

    Can somebody tell me the difference in lengths between the fork spacers from the S and R :O I know the R spacers are 115mm total length and springs are 20mm shorter than the S. can't afford to change the forks :banghead so it's the spring=swap route for now :) Thanks

    Never done a fork rebuild, but I am going to attempt one this winter. I was looking for the step by step pictures thread from doug (I hope someone will pipe in and tell me where it is, or better yet the author), but had no luck finding it. I can build engines and crap like that so we'll se how...

    I'm looking for a pair of 25mm fork cartridges out of a TL1000 or Hayabusa or similar Kayaba fork. Fork itself can be defective, I only need the complete cartridges including damper rod. Preferrably without fork tubes due to weight. Greetings Rufer

    Hi all, I did post this in the main forum but never got a response. I'm tempted to get the forks on my TLS revalved and resprung this winter. I used K-Tech when I had my shock from my Fazer rebuilt, but I've seen Maxton mentioned many times in articles and posts about TL1000S's. Just wondering...

    A long time back there was a comparison of fork oils... I've alwasy used Race Tech US Light Synth Multigrade, but its expensive and probably just relabelled. What's really really good light fork oil but also a good vaule (to use in m TLR fork with Race Tech Gold Valves)?

    Is it possible to do this without disasemble the forks. All my seals are fine and why mess with something that works fine. Just want fresh oil. On my old bike with right side up forks, it was a "peace of cake" but i am a bit worried with the USD forks.
