Hey, Im new to all theis dirt bike stuff, but on the specs for my crf 230 it says the front forks are air adjustable. Where do I put air in??? There is no stems on the forks. Underneath the tubes of the fork there is an allen wrench bolt, is it under those maybe??? Also If I do figure out how to put air in them how many psi do I want, I weight about 115. Thank you -Tim

Normally air adjustable forks have a tyre valve on the top to pump air in-5psi is sensible.I think the manual may have not been written very well.

 

I just had another idea-maybe they mean they are adjustable by using a stiffer airspring-this is done by removing the caps and adding a small amount eg 20ml(or cc) of oil in each leg.More oil means less air space and this stiffens the fork on hard landings.
