SUSPENSION REBUILD
« on: August 29, 2010, 12:51:01 PM »
I got a 1990 K5 with 1999 K5 forks and shock. I had Dicks Racing in Sacramento California Re-Valve and spring the suspension. It's awesome, but now its ready for a seal and oil change. I was wondering where i could get some detailed instructions on how to do the job my self. And What tools i will need to get. Anybody know of a good web site with instructions on how to do this? I would really like to be able to get all the proper tools and knoledge to do this maintance my self. It will save me loads of money in the long run.

You also need to get ahold of Dicks Racing and find out
1. Wt of oil used
2. Oil level they set your forks at

Otherwise you will change alot of what you payed for.....
