Title: Kx65 forks
Post by: Fishnfinatic on July 07, 2012, 04:40:31 PM

So I need some input on my sons kx65 forks. For some reason they are stiff and sometimes get locked. I'm thinking there is air that's needs to be released. Any advice on what I should do? Any maintence?

When you say "locked" do you mean stuck partially compressed?Forks can build up air pressure and become stiff,I have to bleed my WPs often.

When is the last time they were serviced (internals cleaned, new seals, oil, etc.) ? Sachs may be right and they could be bent, post a pic if you can.
