  10. Bleeding/fluid Replacement On Linked Brakes W/abs On 6Th Generation (The Ultimate Guide) 28 Jul 2015 22:17 Wondering if air in the smc can create pulsating movement in the caliper when braking.

  16. 5th Gen VTR1000 fork swap 23 Jul 2015 23:33 Ey Terry.. on the Rebound valve, there was one 10 x17 and one or two or three smaller shims. Do I just replace the 10x17 with 5 other 15x17? or replace the whole stack with only 15x17 shims?
  17. 5th Gen VTR1000 fork swap 22 Jul 2015 13:44 not shure what to do. i'm on two sides here. try out the allready tested, or start testing myself. The DVS did not take in consideration that I have a stiffer spring. sheith that I do not know the spring rate though.…
  18. 5th Gen VTR1000 fork swap 21 Jul 2015 22:20 Oh yea.. Oil level recomended was 140mm. Any reason you did not use gold valve on the rebound Terry? And.. Not shure if i should drill the hole or not. I'm thinking not, as that only counts for the forks without rebound…
