how to open the front fork??

[jordraatt]

Hi folks!

i've got forks from a 81' GS650E, and these forks have no cap on the top, or no air valves..

i'm going to change the spings inside, but don't know how to get inside to the spring..

anyone got some pics or a good instruction on opening the forks??

Your forks appear to have spring caps held in with a stopper ring. You push the cap down, then use a small screwdriver and/or pliers to get the ring out. If the caps haven't been off for a long time, soaking them with PB Blaster regularly for a few days helps...

Push #27, pop out #28:

hold it down tite or it will blast out and kill you. I prop up the front of the bike as far as possible to take as much tension off the springs
