Title: Misano fork cartidge home install?
Post by: Privateer on September 22, 2024, 04:36:08 PM
Has anyone fitted these who can speak to, high level, the difficulty of installing at home?

You might be fine doing it, but I would suggest using a good suspension shop. You order them yet?

No, I was hoping for someone to talk me out of it, or talk me into something that wasn't $600 for a 20 year old bike.

it seems like it's just dismantling the old 'guts' and replacing the guts with the new cartidges.  But I'm afraid I'll get 1/3 of the way through, get stuck, and then be even deeper in it.

I would discuss options for your forks with a suspension shop. Some shops can graft on parts from other models or makes to get the job done that might give a better bang for buck. They can transplant and modify other valves and play with shim stacks to get a major improvement. Then you can measure the bang for buck ratio.

Yes!

On some Misano kits you have to separate the fork foot from one of the legs, and on some you don't. Helped a friend to install a kit on r
his Scrambler 800, had to on that one.
If you don't have to, it should be possible to do "at home".
Check with the dealer which sort this is.
