Exup 1000

Well, that's a bummer, copied the imgur links and still no photo's. I am a web Neanderthal !!!!

Fingers crossed, this all works out OK

This is the standard FZR spacer as shown in all the video's and on-line how-to's, note the arrowed hole.

This is the spacer in my FZR forks - no hole !

I did manage to make a compressor tool to fit onto the small shoulder in ...

what fork springs are you using?

Straight rate 0.95 kg/m springs (the forks are on my FJ 1200), not sure where they were sourced.

An old pal who had a little car and bike servicing/MOT and repair business (and who raced bikes), did the spring swap for me a few years back and he's been retired a ...

Thanks all.

I'll give it a go with the bolt at the bottom of the fork leg and hope it comes out. It's the first time I've come across a set of USD forks where my normal tools can't get the nut accessible, to separate the cap from the rod.

It seems like every other set of FZR USD forks have the ...

Well, I don't know what was happening, but it seems like all my replies have gone through anyway despite the error messages.....never mind !!!

Been trying to add a reply but keep getting an error message so this is a test without any punctuation or text extras

check out Dave Moss on youtube, he has a free vid on rebuilding upside down forks.

Thanks, I'll have a look at it.

TBH though, I'm pretty comfortable rebuilding forks, both RWU and USD. This is the first time I've been stumped by the forks being different to all of the instructions and I can't ...

OK, so I can't get to post photo's (I'm not paying for Image Shack) - but I hope someone can understand what I mean from the description above.

Evening all,

I've come across a problem when trying to disassemble my USD forks. I've removed the legs, unscrewed to top caps and was going to fit my spring compressor tool using the holes shown in the manuals and online, but looking at my forks, there are no holes !

I'm pretty sure my forks are ...

Morning guys,

Does anyone know of, or could point me in the direction of, an EXUP RU front end going for sale anywhere ??

Here's hoping !!

What happened to your old bikes?

Just found that both my FZRs still have MOTs
D745 XAU Genesis MOT to March 2019
P51 RMR Exup MOT to May 2019
I think that's impressive.

Apart from my FS1E which was part ex'd to get my KH250 on my 17th birthday, that 250, my subsequent CB650 and my first FJ 1200 ...

As you mentioned your fondness for FJ's, thought I'd include a photo or two of the finished article, with the RU front end, which also includes the yoke/stem from Stig.

I've sent you a PM Danny with my details, but it's sitting in my Outbox and I can't see it in my Sent Messages box - can you let me know if the PM has arrived.
