forks
-
hi everyone since getting the sm setup on my bike i feel like the front has dropped abit, i had the forks rebuilt and there still the same am i right in thinking the dtx/wrx forks are shorter then the enduro forks? if they are has anyone found a way to raise the front abit without switching forks back and using a brake adaptor?

@calum Hi Calum. I have just joined the site but cannot see anywhere where I can put up a post ?

@calum yea the wheels are smaller i expected it to drop abit but the front feels and looks too low, im already using bar risers and fat bars, im guessing the stantcions or how ever its spelt is shorter on the sm then it is on the enduro, i plan on usd eventually but i need a temp fix lol i was think maybe having the dtr stantcion put on the sm fork legs but not sure if it would work

@tim-tindall I can't remember whether there is a post count limit on certain areas to stop people being "One Post Wonders" and by that I mean, just using this site to fix their problems with no intentions of helping the community.
Basically, have you tried posting in the General Section to introduce yourself in a friendly manner, rather than jumping straight in at asking for help?
I honestly can't remember it's been a long time,
@forgotten Yeah that doesn't sound right, try uploading a photo?
Have you sufficient fluids in the forks? Are they stanchions quite low down in the triple clamps?

@calum i will pull it out next day or 2 and get some pics weather aint great at the moment, the forks were done by a garage as when i got them they was litrally pissing all over my floor so im guessing oil ect done to spec of the manual.
stanchions are right at the top of the yokes cant go any higher, i seen a post where someone was talking making stanchion extenders on facebook but havent seen any for sale that fit the dt, i thought about stiffer oil but the forks are already kinda stiff compared to the pogo sticks it had before

@forgotten
Hi Calum. I am trying to find out how much oil goes in a TDR 125 set of forks ?

@tim-tindall are they the deltabox tdr forks or the paoli ones from the Belgarda version?

@calum pulled it out to get a pic ended up pulling legs to see what crack is, dtx stanchions are shorter, the insides are slightly different too ive added a shim/washer ontop of the springs seems to have lifted it abit but still not quite there, not sure how to upload a pic as it says its too big of file
