TEST RIDE #1
El__burro:
Good day,
Today I have taken the bike (k2) for a test ride.
Still need to adjust a few things.
1 The bike runs fine on the first part of the throttle then it struggles (unless I open the throttle very gently)
2 Both front and back end feel not stable (quite stiff).
3 At traffic light it's quite smokey.
4 After replacing for the 3rd time both oil seals the RH side fork still leaks.
these are the issues I would like to sort out first.
Can you help?

do a plug check at mid-range ,is it lean ? or sootty ?
try thinner oil in the forks,at the rear,can you soffen the spring pre-load ?
the smoking may be due to mixture issues
El__burro:
I have not managed to do far another ride yet,
Tomorrow (if weather is ok) I'll check the plugs.
Fork oil is as suggested by manual and leaks from one fork only.
Thanks

From past experience, if a fork leaks even after new seals then it often means that the fork leg has some pitting or scores somewhere in its travel. They can be very very small and hard to find.

This morning I have re re replaced the seal on the right hand side.
At first inspection it holds fine. Hopefully it will stay that way
otherwise I will look for a replacement part.
Thanks
