Posted September 4, 201311 yr Woke up from a messy night to find i had bent my front forks not to the point where the bike is not road safe but its an eye sore and makes cornering dodgy. I was due to re up the fork oil and replace the seals but i have bigger problems now lol The chrome fork sanchions are bent at not the top yoke but the lower yoke. Iam curious could i take this some where to get them re bent into shape and not have to worry about them. Or do i have to replace the sanchions. Also i have found a few DT125 fork sanchions that i can pickup cheap would they fit the XT125x? thank in advance for help
September 5, 201311 yr Moderator Not cheap again but Wemoto sell new tubes for the XT £112 each http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/yamaha/xt_125_x/05/ or for a £100 are these any good http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-XT125-Forks-11129-/130685898306?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item1e6d7c8e42
September 5, 201311 yr Too much weed LOL I have straighten tube's before ,all you need is a press v blocks and a dial indicator but they are never as strong get new/used ones would be the safe way
September 10, 201311 yr Author Going to buy new ones and get olds ones straightened because the price turned out to be 35 quid altogether which is good for me.
September 16, 201311 yr How did they get bent?! As long as they arent creased you will be able to have them straightened, shouldnt cost that much. A slight bend will be fine.
