First time we have ever run a camera on any of the bikes…obviously you know what’s gonna happen 🤔
Worrying, (and embarrassingly) we had quite a serious leak from the left fork leg, enough to cover the front tyre and also the rear resulting in a warning slide before completely letting go
Turns out when assembled, the thread lock on both of the stanchions wasn’t on the thread at all so may as well not have been there. The left stanchion twisted itself off enough to dump all the oil, the right was close too doing the same
Luckily, only a small knock and was the slowest part of the circuit. 2 turns later and it would have been flat in 4th 😳
Certainly not something you’d find as a problem on any of the big manufactures forks. But I know if we ever replace these on the pit bike, anything new will be fully striped and checked before going anywhere near the bike
Missed 1 session, but were able to fix both correctly, fill with fresh fluid and get back out ☀️🇪🇸🏁
