February 12, 201016 yr Hi I am going to overhaul my Upside down forks on my 00 Rev 3. Any tips greatly appreciated. They are weeping slightly so seals are going to be replaced but would like info on set up.I have the levels from the Beta site. One area of confusion (it does'nt take much) for me is which fork is classed as the left one, looking at the bike from the front or looking at the bike from ride position. Also tips on the rear paoli suspension set up adjustments would be good if anyone has info.
February 12, 201016 yr I guess it would depend on which way you were looking at the bike. The fork leg on the clutch lever side holds the spring and compression valving, and the fork leg on the throttle side controls all rebound damping control. Have you tried using a small piece of camera film to clean the dirt out of between the fork seal and the chrome fork tube. Somtimes this will stop a fork seal from leaking and save a rebuild.
February 13, 201016 yr does it not take the same in both legs ? if it takes more in one leg its the one with rebound that takes more oil and if it says left its left from the front Edited February 20, 201016 yr by matt_urban
February 21, 201016 yr Author Thanks for the replies, me and simmsy or should say simmsy whipped the forks of today as after a good ride I was getting no rebound!! Up to Barry at AB they are going as work is getting in the way of our Hobby!! That cannot be right!!
February 21, 201016 yr Sorry to hear they quit working. Possibly all of the oil has leaked out. Allowing an experianced suspension tech to service them may be a good choice. Edited February 21, 201016 yr by Liviob
