gps for sale nklr
Listers,
This add just hit the BMW Marketplace. I use a 76CSx and it works well
for my needs. If you've been considering getting one I think this could
be a fair deal.
Contact the seller, not me. I don't know anything more than what's in
the add.
Best,
Jeff Saline

fork oil change not working out right
I put in progressive springs last week. I then asked this board about fork oil and decided what kind to get and got it. (7 wt for a cushy ride). Today I put the fork oil in. My KLR is a 2002 model. The Clymer calls for 12 oz (355 cc) for a refill, and up to 14 oz (425 cc) for a rebuild with all parts dry. It also calls for 7 1/2 " of air space at the top of the fork tube with the spring out and all the compression taken out by bottoming the fork.
I put in 12 oz and it was more like 10-11 inches of air space at the top. I went ahead and put in about 75 more cc and it was still around 9" to the top. I put the springs, washers, and spacers in and closed it up. I figured I can always put in more oil if it rides to soft. I took it for a ride and it does not feel terrible but feels a little softer than it was (which is what I want). I have not really got it out on the highway up to cruising speed to check it out yet.
So here are my questions:
1. What gives? It seems like the amount called for in the clymer manual would bring it up to 7 1/2" and it does not even come close.
2. What should I do? I believe I should just ride it the way it is and make sure it isn't too soft. If it is too soft, I will first add another 75 cc and repeat the process; if that does not work, change the weight of the oil.
Incidentally, the fork oil was pretty nasty with about 11,000 on the bike (I just got it).
The progressive springs made a huge difference in the front end. It had a tendency to oscillate, though not too bad, at 70 mph and the progressive springs and Eagle Mike fork brace cut the oscillations down to almost nothing. Actually, it would not start oscillating on it's own, but when I started an oscillation it would keep going longer than I liked. Now it will oscillate once or twice and then steady out.
