You must be the right person to ask for advice so to speak. I have a speedfight 3 Darkside that I need some help with. The lower part of the fork where the wheel bolt goes through must be replaced on the left side. The million dollar question is how do I take it off? I know there is a screw at the bottom of the forks. The reason it needs to be replaced is that the screw that holds the big bolt steady is completely broken. I also think the front dampers are lousy. I also suspect that the front brake disc may not be as it should be. slight vibration during deceleration. When it comes to tire balancing, I think it is very important regardless of tire size. Mine has something called a sport variator + Leo Vince exhaust which gets it to almost 80 km/h 😊
Hi. So to remove "separate" fork lower part from the upper part, ther is a 8mm bolt that you unscrew at the bottom of the fork. I suggest use impact driver. Electric or pneumatic. Then you drain oil, remove dust seal, circlip and then sort of "hummer" lower part out from upper part by pulling it down until it stops with fast hand motion. Its like u trying sort off drag the pipe out of other pipe with a nice punch. When it comes to such a thinn brake disc, there's no way of machining it straight like for example cars or trucks discs. Best is to replace it, because when they vibrate under braking, they are bent or warped by heat.
@@Mcdoktor I really appreciate your reply. But when it comes to the lower part of the fork, I mean on both sides where it is painted black and is about 12 cm long. Both the wheel and the screen are screwed through it. At the bottom there is a screw that must be loosened with an 8 mm Allen key if I am not mistaken. Then comes the big question. How do I knock it down without damaging anything and does it have any effect on the damper itself? As for the brake disc, it also needs to be replaced. I see on your RU-vid profile that you are Norwegian that's cool. I live in Oslo, so I can explain it more simply in Norwegian if you prefer.
