September 13, 201411 yr hi i changed the forkseals and oil in my beta evo -09 last night and now the forks seams dead it doesn't compress at all. it goes down 4-5cm when pressing on the fork and then goes completely stiff. what could be the problem?
September 13, 201411 yr If they are the same as the 08 rev 3, you need to remove the cartridge on one side and drain it of oil prior to filling the forks with the recommended volume. If not, you will have too much oil. The cartridge also needs to be bled of air during the refill process. The owner's manual states this but it is very easy to miss. The cartridge comes out easily but if you don't want to remove it, you could fill by level instead of volume. The 08 manual shows a level measurement but incorrectly states one side is done with the spring installed. General agreement is that it is done with the spring removed.
