adjusting front forks ??? - old man roger - 01-05-2011 we arent running 20 laps at a race track so our fluid doesnt get near the amount of use a race bike would , i have never had a problem with inconsistency in my forks even when doing stoppie after stoppie after stoppie , i think even with good brake fluid your brakes would heat up and act funny long before your fork oil would .. adjusting front forks ??? - old man roger - 01-05-2011 alot of suspension shops will tell you not to run thicker fluid for two reasons , 1 they want you to buy springs and valves and shit like that so they can make money and 2 most of their customers are racers so the fluid would probably need changing more often if it was getting hot but on a stunt bike i dont see it as a problem .. adjusting front forks ??? - JohnnyP - 01-05-2011 I have to agree we stunters do beat up bikes, but in different ways compared to track/race bikes. They beat up certain parts harder then we do... For example I used to think we stunters beat up front brakes, but my brakes got hotter in 3 laps on the track then a whole day smashing stoppie after stoppie... Its funny when the race shops try to give me advice on how to work on or setup my stunt bike, its never right for stunting but makes sense to them for track... adjusting front forks ??? - GIL with 1 L - 01-05-2011 why are you quoting me? I have no idea what you are talking about but it sounds like you want an argument adjusting front forks ??? - old man roger - 01-05-2011 if i want an argument with you i will call you ![]() i was just quoting you because it seemed like you were agreeing with the thicker fluid comment and i really believe it's more of a sales pitch than an actually reason .. any way i have to drop off some cages at the post office so i cant stay and argue but if your in a bad mood and want to yell at me you got my cell #
