Front fork adjustments

Post by djalbin »

1fstfzr1000,
For replacing the front fork seals I don't think there are any adjustments. If you are modifying the front fork internals for performance there are some adjustments you can make (fork spring length). For fork seal replacement on stock forks ... there's only torque specs and fork oil to measure.

Oil weight

That reminds me, in addition to measuring fork oil height you can also adjust fork performance using different weight (viscosity) fork oil.
