Hi everyone
Does anyone know a site with or a treat on this site with a good description of front fork maintenance of a 75/5? Bearings, gaskets and rings? I dont have much experience with this stuff, so i dont really wanna go out in much alignment and so on if i can avoid it.

I used this site for help in doing an overhaul on my /7...helps that I have a /7...but it should help overall.

Plus, I read Snowbum's article and between the two, I was able to get 'r done.

I has probably just gone out of alignment.

I get the first page, but using the arrow leaves a Table of Contents blue page that's blank.

I wonder how it got contaminated. I can't fix it until I get back home.

Thanks for checking it.
