    2 86 200x questions...I hope there not to dumb.

    First off you guys have been a great help...so ...I've got a few more for you...

    1. What are the two "valve stems" on the top of the forks for?
    2. Is the rear shock rebuildable?
    3.The front right fork is leaking and I'm having trouble finding fork seals..any ideas...or seals from something else that will work?

    sorry if they're kinda dumb, I've been riding and wrenching on 4 wheelers most of my life...they dont have forks...

    1. They are for adding air or bleeding air that get in the forks.
    2. Yes, check out Hydrodynamics.com, they will do it for $150.
    3. Denniskirk.com

    Thanks, i looked on Dennis Kirk for the seals but I could'nt find them.The hydrodynamics address took me somewhere that I dont think deals in shocks.

    Anyone use any of the PJ1 frame paints? I was thinking of using it on the swing arm ,but I was wondering how it holds up..its a primer-base-clear,paint system.

    DO NOT add air to your front forks. Those are to let the air out of the forks at different elevations and tempratures to equalize the outside air pressure with the air inside the forks. If you or someone has "added air" with an air compressor, you'll blow your seals out, possibly that is why they are leaking. This is a common misconception with those valves.

    About twice a year or whenever I think about it, I wil just puch down on the center of the valve with my fingernail, and a little air seeps out.

    Ive always been told to let the forks fully extend of a jack they release them, so there in no negitive pressure in there.
