frantic240 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 New boy questions please:- Are they vented to automatically release excess air pressure? Can they be adjusted or do you just leave them alone? What weight fork oil would you recommend for the standard forks? Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherpa325 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 It was common practice back in the 70's & 80's to have vented fork caps, the problem is that on Bultacos they can spew some oil out of the vent hole, so for years I have glued mine up to stop this happening, with no change to the fork action. Fork oil weight on older bikes generally needs to be heavier than newer bikes as I don't think the forks were as sophisticated as today's eg I run 2.5w in my Gas Gas and 10w in my Bultacos to achieve a similar action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
