Modified Forks
« on: July 25, 2015, 02:11:56 AM »
Been working on a 89 500. Found a sticker from the factory inside the right side number plate that says "Front Forks Modified Refer to MC 88-10" Does anybody know what the modification was? Thanks Grant

Looks like MC 88-10 was a service bulletin.  Here is a link to one for sale on eBay.  The first page in the picture gives you some info on what was modified to make the fork more compliant.

Perhaps I have a dirt bike addiction?

Thanks Unberto...that explains it. Getting ready to find out how compliant the forks are for the first time. Thanks
