Well, Now that I've had a chance to put about 500 miles or so on the Uly, I've discovered another slight problem. The left fork leg is leaking. Looks like the seal is shot. I intend on replacing the seal, wiper and upper and lower bushings. I've never done a Uly fork, is there anything I need to watch for? I did see mention of needing a spring compressor, is it manditory? What weight is the stock fork oil, The SM says Type E, but what weight is that stuff? Brad | ||

Bump on the fork overhaul. Mine is next. What tools to use??? | ||

a spring compression tool helps but you can take the forks apart without it, you just need an extra set of hands. Also you could use a fork seal driver, but I have installed seals with a little hammer and using the old seal for protection | ||

Brad, here is one thread that you should go through -there is another one where I wrote down detailed instructions but it eludes me for the moment. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/462221.html?1243036234 Found it! There are a few suggestions from other experienced Uly owners here after my epistle so read it through and you'll get the idea. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142838/487094.html?1250833699 (Message edited by Rays on May 24, 2010) | ||

Man, I knew the good stuff would pop up here! Seals and such are on order from American Sport Bike, should be here mid week. I'm saving those links Ray, thanks. Brad |
