Hi all, I've trawled the posts but cant find an answer so hear goes.......

 

Montesa 315r 2002 showa forks. (put putoline fork oil 4 in to soften it up a bit) 

 

Just serviced mine (oil,bushes,seals) I want to know the following for initial set up please ie, number of turns ?.....

 

1.....Lower leg valve ?

2.....Upper leg thumb screw (purple/blue in colour) ?

3.....Big allen key adjuster (pre-load) ?

 

Its just a start off setting I require then will see how it goes.

 

Also any tips on getting the forks really parallel with each other in the triple clamps ? 

 

                    Thanks in advance, 

 

                    Craig. ;)

Best way to get the forks just so is to remove the pinch bolts if they protrude then place a piece of glass (an almost guaranteed flat surface) across the yokes. It should touch in all four spots, adjust if not.

No need to cut a pane out the greenhouse - you may have a glass cutting board in the kitchen, the purpose of a kitchen of course being to provide a facility for various trials related activities. Surely we all managed to spill molten Linklyfe on our mother's kitchen floor?
