I did email the company who set up my suspension, but have not received a reply - novice help needed!
I have Ohlins front forks on my F800GS. At the Donnington HUBB recently, I spoke to someone who had the quick air release push-button valves fitted. They looked great, so I bought a pair. I do have three questions, however. Firstly, can I simply take out the current release valves from the top of the forks, or will there be more to it than that? Secondly, if I do take them out would the front tyre need to be off the floor completely? Currently I make sure it is when I use the original valve. Thirdly, although officially supposed to happen, is making sure the front tyre is completely off the floor really necessary? Could I just use the push valve when I'm not sitting on the bike, i.e. no excess weight on the front?
These are probably straight forward questions for some, but my current lack of expertise has left me blank I'm afraid!
Thanks in advance for the help.
These are basically what I'm on about:
