RE: [ST] For Erik Miner, George K or anyone who have done RT emulators

Rod,
There should be no problem running 125mm.  To a point, the higher the
oil level, the more you get a rising rate effect as the remaining air
compresses with fork travel.  I've tried as high as 120mm but felt
there was a (slight) tendency for the forks to hydro lock at that
level - this can blow out fork seals -, so I backed it off to 125mm.
I've run this way for about 2 years, before and after adding the race
tech bits, with no problems.

> Question, the install information on the ST web states 125mm for
fork oil
level.  It states that on the RT site too but none of the info in the
RT
site really is for a 99-04 Sprint ST.  I'm probably overthinking this
but
that emulator is like 12mm thick and the service manual says 145mm so
my
totally out to lunch reasoning would say 130mm should be closer.  Any
thoughts? <
