hello power ranger. Not so good on computers, better on the bike. I just joined and have a question for you or anyone that can help. Just bought a mint 86 1200 my fork springs need changing have race tech springs what tool do you use to remove fork caps. any help will be appreciated thanks

First I will cover proper FJowner's forum unwritten rules. Your first post should be an introduction in the introduction section of said forum. Violating that unwritten and un-find-able rule is a violation... Punishment is a stern and not so binding "Get your ass over and properly introduce yourself"!!!!

Second, Punctuate!!! Power Ranger is capitalized as in a proper noun. Respect the Red....

Third, owning an ambulance colored FJ will get you points, repainting with colors other than proper Red and White/Silver will only earn half that.

Forth, asking for my custom made monkey fork cap tool requires a donation to FJowners in the last 6 months.... Then you pay shipping... While supplies last, 4 left...

Why do you need new fork springs? Did you break them??? If you did then we need to hear the story....

Hence fourth, those criticising punctuation should check spelling.

Thread hijack sorry. FJ Monkey how mush do you think the shipping would be to V0E1E0 in British Columbia Canada for your top notch fork cap tool? I would have sent you an email but my server won't let me without setting up abunch of stuff. I am pretty computer illiterate and have to get my daughter to do these things for me. Thanks Big R.

so, is it red ranger or ambulance? im confused... i think mine is gonna be streetfighter... so it dont really matter but still. oh and i guess you havent seen the ambulances around here. the new ones we have are black and red. so if i did the frame in red and the rest in black i would look like one on my local ambulances. so ha

oh and hey monkey, do i need one of those tools to take my forks off? i plan on a whole front end swap before i go messing with the stock front end. it doesnt leak or sag or anything so i think it should be fine til i buy a new front end.

The fork tool is used to remove the top caps only, you can take the fork legs out with the caps in place. You can make your own tool as many have already done with the right size bolt. After rebuilding my forks and installing the RPM valves this simple tool came to mind. I had some laser cut at work in SST. I figured that I could help Marsh and the FJowner's site by giving away the extras to members that have donated in the last 6 months. I just need the cost of shipping covered so I don't lose money in the deal.

FYI, the ambulance refers to the Red and White FJs, the Red Power Ranger is in reference to my riding gear and one of the many ways we like dish out crap and stir up shit around here.

So, how is Indiana this time of year?

minitruckeratheart · October 23, 2012, 11:55:56 AM

INDIANA SUCKS ALL TIMES OF THE YEAR! if you dont like the weather wait 5 mins.... were right dead center of the US literally 7th and walbash is the Cross roads of America or so it used to be. so we get it all. i was riding the bike just two days ago now its cold and wet... next week it will be in the 70s sunny for about a day or two then it will be too cold to be out side... this place is weird. you get all forms of weather all the time. Our riding season is different every year longer or shorter, or too much rain or like this year no rain all summer. anyways indiana sucks balls. big fat floppy donkey balls... nothing here but meth, trains, potholes, bars and colleges.

Continued fork cap tool hijack: I'm sure others have noticed, but if you're looking for a fork cap tool: on my 89 the rear axle nut worked great with a big socket for the fork cap... I wondered to myself if yamaha engineers did that on purpose when I discovered that, haha.
hijack over

minitruckeratheart · October 23, 2012, 04:02:12 PM

so got bored while waiting for the carbs to soak got a dry spell like i said wait 5 mins the weather will change. bobbed the tail lights well started anyways.

whacha think? i like how its tucked up closer to the bike. i did away with the bracket it was on and think i will use it for the front since they are bent and broken off. they are bolted thru a fairing bolt hole. fit nicely.
ill do the other one in a bit, just wanted to see how it looked.
