Tech Suspension Fork Oil Levels - Sherco 2012 to 2013
Sherco list the fork oil levels rather than quantities for these Tech Suspension forks as it is impossible to get all the old oil out of the forks without fully dismantling the forks and the damper.
Right Hand Leg (Damper Side)
Tech Suspension specify 55mm air gap from the top of the oil to the top of the fork stanchion for the right hand fork leg, the one with the damper in it, this is with the forks bottomed out and the damper as far down as it will go, to do it properley you need to undo the top cap off the damping rod so the damping rod can be pushed all the way down.
Use a 14mm and a 17mm open ended spanners to undo the lock nut and remove the cap piece from the damper rod, this allows better access to check the 55mm oil height. Oh be carefull not to lose the small aluminium piece from the top of the damper rod!

Setting the Float height on the Keihin PWK 28
Remove the Carburettor from the bike and clean the outer surfaces off, we use a tooth brush with a bit of the petrol from out of the carb and then blow it dry with compressed air.
Remove the float bowl, turn the carburettor upside down, remove the 2 securing screws and then gently pick the float bowl up from the back right hand side first (as you are looking down at the carb in the upside down position). You need to lift this corner up by about 5mm with the carb upside down, then the float bowl should gently come right off, be warned it isn't easy till you've got the hang of it and don't force it as you will bend the floats or the overflow pipe.
The carb needs to be tilted so the float just touches the the float valve, the float valve has a sprung loaded pin on it so if the carb is held horizontally upside down the weight of the floats will press the spring down and give you a false height. Keihin recommend that you set the floats so they are parallel with the gasket surface of the carb as shown by the 2 red lines in the picture.£300 for Dronfield First Reponders
