Ok, has anyone really ever worked on the damping adjusters on the bottom of the USD forks on a CRM. One of mine is seized and the other just spins. I'd really like to sort this out if I can, but I'm reluctant to take them apart blind.

Has anyone got a detailed exploded parts diagram of this assembly?
Help :o

Ok, This is how it is!

CR125 Fork Springs fit a Mk3, They are exactly the same dimensions - 41x485. You can get them from K-Tech as a stock item in 4 different ratings, from 36n - 42n depending on your weight fully kitted. If you are 12 stone you will need 40n. £64.50 delivered.

So it's back to 7.5wt oil and decent springs for me. Whoo Hoo :D :D

Go for the 42n rating. After ive fitted the springs tomorrow, I'm then gonna try and match the back spring to balance the bike, after seting the sag of course.

I assume abigsupermoto your trying to set up for supermoto style, hagon list an upgrade spring £80 but you have to send the forks away to have the dampers done ,no exact price but it was over the£200 mark.

The bike will spend more time on the dirt so I will prolly go with stiffer springs and live with it in moto trim :roll: thankyou all the same :wink:
