New fork springs wont slide over the spring guides?
« on: September 21, 2020, 03:52:41 PM »
Just got some .48 springs for my 93 500.  Rebuilt everything and springs wont go in  Race Tech FRSP 395148.  These are the only springs I can find.  Anybody experienced this?  Never happened to me before.

Sand the spring guides until they go through the springs smoothly.
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.
