rebuilding forks without a clue - wycher - 12-25-2012

so, I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to front end suspension. I am planning on having my fork seals replaced soon. while they're in the shop, I'd like to do it up right. the seals were leakin when I bought the bike, its just gotten a lot worse since then(leakin heavy on rs caliper). these are old '93 forks, damper style. I've heard a little about cartridge, inverted, emulated etc. I've not ridden with fully functioning front suspension, so I'm not sure what a good setting is. how do I prepare for stoppies, coming down from wheelies?

I'd update......like f4/f4i forks

i'd convert to f4i, but that means swapping the whole front end out, I just aint got the dough right now. The '94 f2 was the only year f2 that had cartridge style forks(both pre-load and rebound adjustments) and, its a bolt in swap. I reckon i'll look for the '94s and see what I can do.
