Re: Forks don't rebound

You have it bang on. That is all correct. I was hoping it was as simple as the dampers being blocked or incorrectly assembled but I have taken them apart and reassembled correctly again and again, and they are both clean and correct.

Forks don't rebound

Hi all, I am hoping for some fresh suggestions. I have an R80/7 with stock forks that I recently rebuilt. For the life of me, I cannot get them to work properly. I have actually rebuilt them multiple times with new parts, fresh fluid, etc. No matter what I do, I cannot get them to rebound as they sh...

Re: Deep Oil Pan

I've got pans like this on my R75/6 and my R100RS and will likely get one for my R100/7 sometime: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/nBoAAOSwraljofm5/s-l650.jpg https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/HQcAAOSwt5pjofnK/s-l650.jpg They clear the centerstands just fine.

Deep Oil Pan

Hi all, Does anyone have experience installing a deep oil pan on a /7? I have an R80 that I'd like to install one on but I cannot figure out if it will clear my center stand. I have the stand with two cross bars on it (photo attached). Some people online say it fits, and some say the stand needs nee...
