    Hi,

    I have just bought a pair of SID 02 forks, (brand new & never used)... I fitted them to my bike and
    put 150PSI in the top and then 150PSI in the bottom. They seemed a little hard so I let a little air
    out of them. When I released a small amount of air from the bottom of the leg pink grease came from
    the valve...

    What are the recommended pressures for these forks?

    Should I be worried about the grease coming out?

    Thanks in advance

    Daz

    Why don't you just check from the manual?

    My '02 Duke C leaked oil out of the positive valve once... that was because I stored it upside-down
    and forgot to let everything slide back down the tubes before letting some air out.

    Write to them... maybe you'll get something.

    They got back with me pretty quickly, with my question.
