Hi guys:

Since I bought my 2.011 FE450 (which I love by the way), I thought of the cc suspension to be much better in responsiveness as the previous models with open cartridge.
The only thing is that it felt way to soft and it bottomed a lot (in small jumps). So I ask the dealer to compressed the springs a little and to add 10cc of oil to each fork and the bike stopped botomming and it still kept it´s confort as an enduro bike.

Ok, the problem is that I put a pair of bleeders and my right fork throws oil from the bleeder hole every time I push it. I´ve changed bleeders to see if that is the problem but is not. I think there is something wrong with my fork or the re-assembling they did when I sent them to the previous mentioned maintenance (which I did twice - the first to add compression and oil and the second to see if they solved the bleeder problem which the couldn´t).

If somebody has a guess of what the problem is I would appreciatte it.

Thanks.

If its coming out of the bleeder, then that must be the problem. It simply a valve, and if it doesn't seal, then oil splashing about inside will come out. I had one once that did it occasionally and all that was required was to give the end a bit of a twist to seat it again.

Thanks Steve, but it is not the bleeder itself. I´ve changed them many times, tightened them, loosen them, etc.

I think there is something wrong with the assembly of the fork.

Let me have some more ideas or if anybody has the maintenance manual for the cc forks let me know.

Greetings.

I have a set fitted to my DR650. I was eventually able to find and download a manual from the net. You probably won't find it listed for a Berg, but try searching for 4860 MXMA which I assume is what they are, and what I have. I could send it to you direct perhaps, its about 10 mb so a big file and as small as I can get it.
