Fork blown
Out on my 15 300 did a big drop off and flat landed and the left fork internals have come out the top of the fork it doesn't look like its stripped any threads but not sure what's gone on , any help appreciated or a parts list of the forks , thanks

Which forks and we need pics!
|
It'll be the 48mm Zokes.. Whole PFP assembly pushed out of cap.
|
|
On the 48's either the aluminum PFP section broke (most likely) or somehow the circlip failed (highly doubt it).
|
Ok first of what does pfp mean , second is that I've tried lots of places to try and get parts to repair fork (think the circlip failed and ballbearing and spring are gone , tried gas gas and said they could not help so it's down to you guys , where do I even get a tool to take the preloaded out ?
|
A quick Google brought these guys up. They are in Bradford.

If you're not certain and confident in getting into the depths of these forks I'd pay someone to pull them down and report on damage. Be aware you will hit a wall on parts. You may find a set that have worn through coatings etc that you can buy for cheap and poach parts from..
Otherwise, a used set of KYBs are a great alternative! |
Ok. Can't get no help or parts of anyone , gas gas uk no ,suspension people I've tried don't know what I'm on about when I say what's happened and all say they wouldn't be able to get parts. So it down to me. Anyone give me a step by step to disassemble to get to this problem thanks

I posted the thread above. It'll take some reading along with the manual courtesy of Beta.
Pretty much all the tools are standard. Fork cap tools cross over with KYB 48mm SSS/AOS. You may find after pulling everything apart you still hit the same wall, so as above I'd start specifically asking if anyone has a set with coating damage that they are willing to let go of. |
