Topic: front forks

[Frenchmike]

Just  drain 50ml out of my front forks from the 160 ml it put in , to see what difference it would make, to my what I call gudder , only it find it has made it worse , so may be using 10w fork oil or the atf that I have in it at the moment is just not thick enough.

May be I'm not getting damping at all.

I'm starting to clutch at straws now, as i have done everything you have all kindly suggested

What bike are we talking about? I use 15W in my race bike otherwise ATF in the rest. Removing 50ml is a lot at once. Having only 110ml is far too little and will give too much travel as well.

It's a 1977 400f and the book said from empty 160 ml

Try a slightly heavier viscosity but do begin with 160ml again.
