Forks are reinstalled with no leaks and I got a short test ride in Sunday. The front end is ready to go for the season now.
Of course, they are predicting snot flurries this afternoon - my fault, sorry...
Yesterday, I finally got around to changing fork oil and seals. I put the bike on stands and pulled the forks 2 weeks ago and it's been in the way in the garage since.
I'll put it back together and test ride it today.
Was planning to change bushings & seals in my '03 Hayabusa forks as part of my winter maintenance but it seems these forks do not have replaceable bushings. Does anybody here have a 'busa and know about the forks? Has anybody heard about these fork bushings getting sloppy or do they just last forever? Do I need to buy new fork uppers to get bushings pre-installed? Can I get new fork uppers at a reasonable price anywhere?
I've been running these forks since '14 with RaceTech springs and I've always kept clean oil in them and service them regularly. I got them 2nd hand so I have no idea what they've been through before I got them. Could they really be ready for the scrap bin?
