Kopnut Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hi to one and all, I'm a newbie at this posting game so if I am doing wrong, please tell me. I have a Fazer 600 on a Y plate and decided to change the fork oil while I was replacing the front tyre. To you techies out there, I got to the stage where you fully compress the tube into the slider to fill up with oil, and HEY PRESTO, the tube will not come back up/out of the slider. I've tried everything but throwing it !!!. will someone out there, please be kind enough and show me the error of my ways. Many thanks for reading.

Madison Motorsport Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Did you use a locking pin to hold the forks in the compressed position? If so, have you removed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopnut Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Thanks for the reply, no I didn't use a locking pin, I just pushed the tube into the slider till it hit the bottom, now it won't return. Have stripped the fork down and I can't see how the tube can come back up the slider as the bottom allen screw at the bottom of the fork(inserted at the bottom of the slider) holds the damper rod through the nylon bush that's inserted into the bottom of the tube. The only way that I can see how it is supposed to be is, Have I rammed the botton bush into the tube? . I hope this sheds some light on this to you techies out there. Thanks again for reading. !

Yep you could have done, also there could be a load of crud in the bottom of the fork and this has cuased a bit of "sticksion" try draining the fork again, then twist the stansion as you pull upward, I have had this happen to me once when doing the wifes 600 Fazer`s forks, but did manage to pull the slider up ok, was a little more carefull next time I did them. PS,,,, just a thought,, is the fork stansion straight ?? has the bike ever been in a shunt ? you have pushed the stansion down past the oil seal a lot lower than it would normaly go, if there is any damage to the stansion then it would be just below the bottom yoke,about the point that is now in the oil seal !! just something else to think about !!
