WHERE IS THE SCHRADER VALVE?

[Guest]

I WANT TO FILL MY FRONT FORKS ON MY 1979 GS750L. WHERE IS THE SCHRADER VALVE. IS IT UNDER THE LARGE NUT ON TOP OF THE FORK LEGS?

Yes, but you can't use them to fill the forks with anything but pressurized air. You'll have to remove the fork caps if you wish to add fork oil.

OK, THATS NOT THE CAP TO FILL THE FORKS. BECAUSE I TOOK IT OFF AND THE SPRING POPPED OUT.

It does not have Schrader valves, stop screaming!

SO HOW DO YOU FILL THE FORKS? MINE ARE REDICUOUSLY SOFT.

Caps Lock button is on the left...

Oil is probably ancient, put in some new 15 or even 20W, throw away your old springs and get some new (progressive) ones. Check tire pressures to make sure.
