CB500 Fork Damping
« on: May 20, 2021, 11:28:21 PM »
Have the forks off my 73K1 as they seem to rattle and crash about over speed humps and the like. Found one spring is about 4mm longer than the other and one of the dampers feels uneven when I pull the rod up/down. I also have a spare fork set, so will mix and match the best bits.
The damper is a one piece assy with the long rod that attaches to the top cap. K0, K1s and some CB450s. Presume the damper wears, is there any way to service?
Also this is listed by wemoto for K0 but presume it is not suitable.
