Need some help/advice, I'm stripping down my front forks for powder coating. How does the bottom adjuster screw come out? I've unscrewed it and can see the 'o' ring but it won't come out.

k2/3/4? Im not sure the screw is intended to come out. Others may know better than I though
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

I think there's a pin to pull out, not sure how you'd do that though, as it's pressed in to a blind hole.
Easy enough to fit though !

Well you can't buy adjuster valve separately. Suzuki want £400 for bottom leg and only used ones were £350 + £60 postage.
Nothing for it than make one. Luckily a guy at work is a toolmaker and into bikes. He's drawn it out with dimensions. I'll get a copy and post it for info.

I read that thanks, one of the adjusters on mine has the thread stripped. Short of replacing the whole fork leg making one was the only option.
