I got a pretty nasty ding on the bottom of my fork tube where the dust seal is that I'm sure is causing a leak. My guess where the oils seal goes is probably a little warped also. Replacing the seals probably wont be enough, I'm going to see if I can get it repaired.
If I can't get it...
I have heard some talk here about mixing fork springs.
For example mixing a 48 fork spring with a 44 to get 46.
In fact I have 2 FE 650s. One with 44s and one with 48s.
Just picked up the one with 48s and their stiff. Im 195lbs without gear and I like my 44s
I would probably like the 46s also...
What weight of fork oil do I need for rocky trails on my 2009 FE570?
I weigh 165lbs without gear, 195 with gear. I will be installing .46 springs.
Also, how much oil do I need to buy, and where can I find the special wrench to remove the top caps?
Thanks!
My forks are leaking and I need to reseal them and need to know how much oil in each leg and what WT.oil I should use.This is a 99 fc400 with 50mm extreme forks.
Hello,I was wondering about the correct air chamber.The thing is that in manual,for supermoto MXMA fork, the distance is 100mm but in owners doc I saw 115-130 mm.I set it in 120 mm as I had a harsh feeling.Also My preload in manual is 5 turns but seems too much...so I put in 2 turns.My weight...
Looking like I may need to buy new - most likely guys with stiffer springs are using them unless they've lost weight? I also have .47, .46 and .42 springs for CC forks to sell or trade.
I was ready to pull the trigger on a new 2011 FE390, but the dealer rolled out a 2010 FE 450 for $2k less than the 390. I only weigh 145 - 150lbs (65-68kg), so I was never really seeking the extra power of a 450. I live in north-east US and will be riding technical single-track, rocky trails...
Finally got some clear weather and some time to go for a squirt. Was out at a local spot fairly blasting around with my brother (roostya) when we came across a pair of CRF-X riders at pace. The first guy came out of a blind corner at pace as well with his buddy in hot pursuit, I had nowhere to...
Hi,
I had the front wheel off my 08 FE550 this week and did not pay enough attention to what the spacing of everything had looked like while disassembling
Everything went back together fine with the brake disk lined up etc. However, there is some of the axle exposed on the riders right side...
I have a 2004 FE650 i have recently converted to Supermoto... wheels, brakes, bits here and there. I currently have my forks apart because i am putting new fork seals in them. Before put them back together I wanted to get some advice from all of you about what i should do with my suspension! I...
Is it a good idea-or first of all does i fit?
I had a kyb tc on my wr450f 2007 and liked that feeling it gave me.
Anyone knows if they are the same fork besides setting that the new 2011 husas gets? and maybe what springs are in it stock.
i am 203lb without gear (use only mx gear when riding...
Gona help a friend with a fe450 -09 , he`s not really happy with the fork and the 2010 setting are supposed to be better ( or is it??)
I have the stacks from 2009 and 2010 but missing the midvalve float on the 2010 fork , 2009 has 0,6-0,7mm or am i off on that number?
If anyone has a good...
Hi all !
Sorry for my english, I am French...
I own a 501 FE HUSABERG 2000, with WP4358 MXMA front fork, 43mm.
Can you tell me how much oil should I put in each fork leg ???
Thanks a lot........

Hello my friends:
I sent my fe450 (09) to the dealer in order to get a front suspension maintainance. They changed the suspensio oil in the forks but they told me they only have and work with KTM OIL 7.5w.
I am mainly an enduro rider and I´ve always used 5w in my forks, so is it going to be a...
Just wondering what fork oil height you guys are running.
I just serviced my forks today and the fork oil height from the factory was 130mm
The manual says between 100mm and 120mm.
Trying to get an average on what most people are running.
I have never serviced forks myself before and the fork cap on my 01 fx 650 seems very tight, any tips on this or fork seal replacement would be appreciated. thanks.
