what now !!!!
« on: October 06, 2011, 09:34:10 PM »

hi guys sunday gone went up lockup to get my 10r out and f#ck puncture on back wheel, got that sorted lucky for me on a sunday.
nipped in the lockup today cos a customer gave me a bench vice and thought i could use it for bike stuff and when i looked around the floor (had a roof leak and was looking if all ok since i fixed it) i noticed there was a stain on the floor by the front wheel of the track bike, thought at first it was brake fluid but top of the caliper was wet so think it mite be the front forks, didnt have time to have a good look as i had to drop the boys off so dreading saterday when i have a good look if it is the forks, as i know nothing about the set up of them. was ok on the track day i done on the 24th. will let you know what is up with her cos will need some advice im sure.......... :dontknow:

Unless you have the right tools I'd let the shop fit them- it might end up costing alot more otherwise :dink:

A lot?
Take a look at the service manual and see exactly what you need to do just to get the legs separated and decide if it's still expensive.......
