AberdeenBikers

A mate who lives at Carron, near Aberlour has just bought a Big Mans Wanger R1100RT. I was at his place on Friday and had a look at his new toy. I remembered having a test ride on one of these Telelever bikes when they first came out so I was looking at the fork/headstock area to remind myself how the setup works. We noticed oil covering the top couple of inches of one of the forks and both assumed a fork seal had failed. I was just thinking about that and it occurred to me that the forks might not actually contain oil as there is a separate shock absorber, similar to a monoshock. Does anyone know how these forks work?

Simple job to replace

detailed instructions and pics here on UKGSer but the RT will be more or less the same

Thanks gents, so they don't contain dampers but they do contain oil
