Forks Fluid

I have to give it up to Zongshen for quality control on this one. Only on Q, have I ever had a CB that had the exact same amount of fluid in each fork. After draining each fork down to the "one drop per second" count, I was amazed at the results. 320 cc's from each fork. Of course, there's always about 10cc or so left behind so I just added 320cc's of my favorite Bel Ray 10W to each fork and called it done. FYI- the stock fluid seemed fair but had a funny smell. I'm glad it's changed.

Then, this morning I woke up thinking it would be a great disservice to our humble community here if I didn't attempt to repair the "leaky adjuster screw" some of us have. My right one has been weeping. I'll be looking at that tonight to see what I can see.
