Stiff forks

Recommended Posts

The forks on my fantic 200 are betors with double pinch bolts. They are too stiff, I’ve gone down to 5 wt oil, 200ml. stripped forks down & put new x2 seals in each leg. Are there any mods I can do to damper rod to make them softer? 

Cheers varlo

The Betor forks would work well with 5w oil, 200ml. Why 2 seals? There is probably some other problem like the stanchion jamming in the slider, perhaps the slider bush is too tight. The forks need stripping down to find the problem, try without the springs and without oil to see if the stanchions have full travel without jamming then look for the problem from there, it is not the oil. 5w is very light for Betors.
