Revisiting the forks

The front forks are a vital component for the steering of the motorcycle, second to the steering cone.
Lucky for me in the history of this blog, i managed to dig up the fork level and viscosity needed. 15w, 255ml on each leg and 190mm from the top forks fully compressed with springs removed.

The oil seal retainer ring were too ridiculously corroded. Shops did not carry the part nor willing to order them for me. Lucky for me, i had a spare shadow ace750 fork lying around and the fitting of its retainer rings were spot on! phew.

I went with belray 15w fork oil 1L. Cost me $15 from lim ah boy.
