GPZ750 Fork Charging

[leep]

Hi All

I have just completed a front end rebuild on my geepa 750, its has the ability to add a 7psi charge to the front forks with air or nitrogen for additional suspension assistance, However I keep hearing differing opinions on whether its a good idea or not.
Some say charging the forks will cause the seals to fail prematurely and 7psi wont make any difference, however others suggest if its meant to be in there it should be done and will help.

Can anyone help me out on this issue????

cheers

I ran 5psi on my GeePeeZed...never blew seals and it helped (sorta anti-dive mechanism)
and even 5psi does make a diff (try it with nothing and be shocked...then add the air!)

5-7psi will be fine in your front end mate - people blew seals when they pumped up the forks with the servo air-pump !!! and jammed 20psi in there !

Use a hand-pump. Its way safer and you can control the pressure much better. 7psi will make a *shitload* of difference....

hahaha.........as Gos sez-never use a servo air hose!
I used a bicycle pump or foot pump on mine!
