GP forks
Posted: Thu Aug 28, 2014 2:33 pm
Hi guys. I purchased a freshly built Italian GP 150 from a fairly local fella a few months back.
The forks have now developed quite a bit of movement, which I noticed when grabbing the front brake when riding. Was making a knocking noise.
Most of the movement when grabbing the forks is front to back as apposed to left / right.
Could this be that they simply need tightening up at the top?
I'm crap with the spanners, but intend to use Stickys bible, and try and sort it myself!
It looks like a big job due to removing the complete headset to get to the fork top, so I'm leaving myself a spare day to sort it.
Any tips lads before I get stuck in?!
