how much air psi do my front forks take, 84 kz700

Hi all, i recently purchased an 84 kz 700 & i noticed it has valve stems on top of the front forks, i was curious what air psi ranges are recommended & what the proper way to inflate is also.

I really dont know the pressue...but if you introduce to much, you can blow the seals.

It is a low-pressure system...6-8 lbs pressure...use a bicycle pump...compressed air will quickly overwhelm your fork seals (as was suggested by 4thekz1000).

The way I've gone about it is pretty by the book. If you have a good, reliable and (most importantly accurate) compressor, you can use it. Just be certain to dial it down within the pressure spec. The spec I have is for what I imagine non-neglected parts.

It reads:

"Connect a pump to the valve and pump the forks up to about 25 psi.

CAUTION: Do NOT exceed 36 psi or the fork seals will be damaged.

Slowly bleed off the pressure to reach the desired value."

Earlier in the chapter it states that the maximum allowable air pressure difference between the forks is 1.5 psi.

I hope this helps

Check & adjust the air pressure w the front wheel off the garage floor.
Note: the owner's manual has the info. It may be hidden on the underside of the seat in a pull-down document case.

ya i looked for an owners manual just in case it was still with the bike but there was not one to be found.
