i dropped off my forks to Krooz Tune this arvo. both seals are rooted and they need a good servicing. the right leg has ZERO oil left in it. :dry:
i only let them get so bad due to lack of funds. and im getting them fixed as the left is leaking onto my disc and giving me some puckering moments upon braking :laugh:
while i was there, i asked them if the could put some bleeders in. they said NO. they reckon they are shit and let moisture into the forks as they suck air in upon rebound.
the only good ones are the factory KTM ones i was told and these are bloody pricey
do you lot run them and if so what has been your experiences…
and remember…this IS in the tech thread
the 400 has them and i quite regularly press them to release the built up air,, there is a diffence in the volume of air depending on the terrain,,cant complain about them.
Boony
My set cost $85 and are guaranteed to not suck air, I had three different brands before I got a set that didnt. I was happy using a screw driver like Mal just that I got my set for free. Boony you should only bleed your forks when the are fully extended. Even if your bleeders are sucking air Boony conventional forks will put up with it where USD’s wont.
I would say Menace unless you buy real good ones just bleed them with a screw driver
(cant believe you wrote that about the tech thread it would be only you or your twin Boony that would derail it

sorry forgot to mention the bit about releasing the air whilst the forks are fully extended, i just pull the bike up on the stand and then press the buttons.

After reading your question I am wondering if the air is getting sucked in like you were told!I still carry my bleed screws in my bum bag on a ride because I am waiting for the same, say they maybe sucking air Nickj :dry:
Yeah thats the go Boony didnt know if you knew was all
