Guest Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 hi, i put my xv750 on ebay, i got loads of interest, and it sold for £740, the guy hasnt even contact me, what a waste of time he is.dose anybody no what pressure should be in my front forks, and what should be in the back suspension.thanks Quote
Guest Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I seriously doubt your bike has air assisted suspension, the back is adjusted by a big ring and a "C" Spanner, to suit the rider and load, the front should have a pre- determined amount of oil.. the oil weight can be altered to suit the rider, but best to check what the norm is with a manual.. if it has air assisted i would suspect that the previous owner has upgraded from the standard spec.

Guest Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 im pretty sure it's air suspension,ive been told it's a usa import Quote
Stu Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 if anything the rear will be nitrogen a lot of shocks are gassed with nitrogen as the pressure doesnt adjust with heat unlike air but thats because air has moisture in it any adjusters on the front forks will control the oil feed between the damping valves Quote
Guest Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 now i've seen the pictures I feel a T***, but don't know Quote
Chrissb6 Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Hi, bit late coming in here you may have got it sorted. I've got air suspension on my kawasaki zx10 b3. Just a bit of info if you have not got it sorted. First dont use a airline at the garage to charge it or you will distroy the shock. Get a shock pump from halford £20.00 or there abouts, you will find these in the push bike section. The shock normally run at atmospheric pressure you only need to increase the air pressure if the shock is bottoming out, there is oil in the shock to aid damping note: The air only acts as the spring. If the bike is bouncing all the time the damping mechanism is probably U/S you may be able to change the oil and recover this.Hope this help Quote

Colin the Bear Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 When I was running a 1982 XV750 I was advised by the mechanic to not put too much pressure in the forks as it will blow the seals out. Sit the bike on the centre stand, lift the front wheel off the floor and open the valves in turn. That should give you a usable setting.Very much ahead of its time the XV750. Fibre optic alarm and sensors for everything. Hows your final drive? Quote
