2000 Pre load adjuster

Post by Wanny »

I Guys

I need help, just bought a R1 4xv and setting the front suspension up when the rebound screws just spin, no clicking or even seating just spinning.

Any ideas?

Thanks guys.

Welcome in Peter
Sorry mate they sound fucked to me but then again I'm on my second set of forks now & never touched them so I guess we'd better wait for someone that knows what the f**k they're on about to turn up . . . . . . . . . . . It maybe a long wait :lol:

Yer welcome in ;)

Bit more about yourself, biking history and photos usually work well on here ;)

As for the adjuster, I would suggest its snapped

Now you really need to load some photos of all your bikes.

If you are not sure how to then have a look at the below thread ;)

I think I have done it.

Can anyone help with my fork problem?

http://s1288.photobucket.com/user/wanny ... %20Uploads" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

wanny you forgot to highlight your photobucket link so that it's in blue ( the same as highlighting it to copy it to clipboard ) & while it's blue click on the "IMG" tab ^^^
you also have to do it one pic at a time
upload your pic to photobucket , when you click on the pic to the right of the pic it will say "share links"
Image
put your cursor over "direct" where the http web address is & left click this will save the link to your clip board & you will end up with "http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x193/jompy15/R1.jpg" when you right click & click on paste , hold your cursor at one end of this address left click & old the button down dragging the mouse over the address turning it blue , take your finger off the mouse button & then click the "IMG" tab just above &and it will put the [ img ] [ /img ] either side of the address for you [ img ]http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x193/jompy15/R1.jpg[ /img ]
when you post you will see

Wanny just the usual - fork service/rebuild or scour eBay for a replacement - not a lot of help really I know but good luck pal :)

Could be as simple as someone reassembing the forks and not refitting the rebound rods???

Hello and welcome. The only thing I know about forks is that they normally come with knives!

Welcome in Peter, your pics seem to have disappeared, but saying that I'm not the most it literate person on this site. I hope you have a good sense of humour as you will need one what with all the banter on here.
