    '92 fe350 WP 4054 fork service

    Help! I need to change the oil in these forks and have no idea where to start. There is a clicker on the top of the forks and a bolt in the bottom. Can anyone tell me if the bolt at the bottom can be taken out to change fork oil? Thanks!

    Fork wear

    Have anyone experience of that the WP fork starts to be harsh when the operating time increases? I have indications that the WP-fork gets worn more rapidly then other brands. Have you with over 150 hours on the bike noticed this?

    99' Fe400 stock fork height(what is it?)

    I've looked all over this site, and in my manuals and can't find what the height of the fork should be(as measured from the top of the triple tree). Anyone know? I bought the bike used, and i'm suspecting it was modified, and I want to go to factory settings before I start tweaking...

    anyone got .44 or .46 fork springs (48mm) lying around?

    any of you big fellers already shell out for stiffer springs for your 06 and still have the stock 44's around? i'd like to go a little stiffer for the dez, and if i can, i'd just as soon buy someone else's springs.

    Fork Caps

    I went with the heaviest rear spring ( :idea: ) and found the preload on my forks now to be a bit on the light side, I'm 2 off for compression now......I use plastic wire straps as gauges and have found I'm using the last 3/4's of the travel...... soooo I was lookin at the KTM adjustable fork...

    Fork sag 06 450

    I was doing a basic setup check and found my forks to have 38mm of static sag, the wp book says the sag should be between 25-40mm. I like to run around 25-30mm,(to keep the fork in the plushness of the stroke) but I can't shim the springs enough to get that, and I really don't want to put 4.6...

    What Fork oil and Wt ?

    I have a 05 fc 550 that has been revalved for 195 lbs with 4.6 springs for WORCS type of racing and it has 7.5 wt oil in it, and I was thinking it would be more plush with 5wt oil in the rocks? Does the 7.5 wt seem to heavy for what I am doing? Thanks for the help,

    A few bucks here (tires, brakes, some other bits) and there (seals, springs, revalving by Dicks) and the 600 (nee 501) is ready for action (just need some tracks to open!). One question though- does anyone make a fork brace for the WP fork? I tried the SRC brace that they thought would...

    Fork and Shock suspension applications on bergs

    Where can I find a listing of ALL the fork (make and size) that are used on bergs since 2000? For example, 02 FC470 uses WP 48U Fork and WP 50 Shock. What about the other bikes? There must a reference chart somewhere. Thanks
