New VTR owner Spring Question
Hey guys great forum and like most full of excellent info, however, I still have one simple question even after hours on the search.
What do I need to do to simply remove stock springs and replace with new RT .90 springs? No gold valves...just springs and oil. With my old SV I just needed to remove old springs and install new ones and adjust the spacers and oil./ VTR has the added complexity of dampening adjustment?
Can I do this job without removing the forks?
Thanks for any help or if you can point me to a post for spring replacement only ?

It's pretty much the same. With the damping rod there's a little trick to getting the adjusters right. When you get your springs and oil lemme know and I'll walk you through it.....on second thought...

If you want to replace the oil then the forks have to come off the bike, period.

Thanks Greg.....that's exactly what I needed! Got the springs and US-2 10wt oil in on Friday and should have it completed by lunch. I'll use a tube and brakeline bleeder to suck as much oil out as possible and next time I need to replace seals I'll remove forks and ALL oil......and maybe revalve at that time.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
