Still tweaking...
The front fork operating air pressure on my 86' 200 is 6lbs, max pressure is 36lbs. What can I crank it up too, I don't understand what the difference is between operating and maximum(under load possibly)?
I replaced the front fork oil and when I put the pinch bolts back on I questioned the torque rating of 14lbs, it seems a bit low to me. I gripped the socket wrench right next to the socket and tq'd down, I'm sure in excess of 14lbs (probably 30-50lbs), to my comfort level. Anyone have feelings towards the stock tq ratings? The fact that the fork housing is cast I would think it could take more pressure without collapsing the fork tubes. Any vibrations/movements would be problematic in my views. Should I loosen and retighten?
Never did get that allen bolt out, another day...
As always, thanks for the help. Gonna ride it one day!
