'10 Sachs forks...change?
I have the 48mm Sachs forks which have been revalved and the tech's sticker says to run 12.5 oz of oil, which is way lower oil level than recomended. They are ok.
My question is: Can I, or should I, try to obtain other forks that would fit in my triple clamps? I quess they would be real expensive... |

Ohlins make TTX inserts for the 48mm Sachs legs, but they'll set you back a couple dollars. For less you can usually source a full YZF front end and get the KYB SSS forks. The whole triple clamp and front end bolts right on. |

I'm not sure what your asking? Are you saying the forks are ok as they are?
Re the oil as Jake said the Sachs are set by the air gap. I guess if you measured the amount of oil it took to get you to that air gap... But it's much easier just collapsing the forks filling it full of oil, bleeding the air out of the cartridge then sucking the oil back out to whatever air gap you want it set to. Plenty of you tube videos on the above if you're unsure. I believe standard air gap is 110mm. I'm currently running 115mm but about to drop it to 120mm as I still don't use all of my travel. If you aren't happy with the forks they can be made to work quite well. I'm a hack with no idea what I'm doing and after 4 revalves I'm very close to being very very happy with them. See here for details: http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=14121 Only downside to doing it yourself is you need a tool to crack the cartridge and get at the mid valve, and shims are bloody hard to find. There are also plenty of tuners who are familiar with the Sachs depending on where you're located. Or if you really want to get different forks it'd be hard to beat this: http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=14921
