Gpr stabilizer help

!!A2K!! · 08-13-2009, 03:11 PM

so i got a gpr stabilizer for my 03 636....its the older style....when its off the bike it stiffens up to whatever setting i want, but when its on the bike it stays the same......wondering if it needs work done? Ive heard some type of stabilizers are made only to work when the bars are jerked to either side.....advice please??!

so your saying the stiffness is adjustable when off the bike but not on the bike?

have you noticed any leaking? wouldnt hurt to send it in for a rebuild its only 25 dollars and you get it back pretty quick.

Okay, so I finally got to the bottom of this. They should at least be serviced (by you or GPR) once a year. they SHOULD NOT feel like ours do! I am going to do a fluid change myself.

The GPR website has all the FAQ's you will ever need. I STRONGLY SUGGEST that anyone with a GPR visit their website, for there is valuable information that we all need but few actually have.

So I changed my fluid today. it needed it too. glad i figured all this out.

If you guys choose to do the fluid change yourself, don't worry, it's really easy, messy, but easy. just make sure you find out which weight fluid your gpr came with. some are different and it will make a huge difference! i went with 20w which is really heavy in mine (1-8). we'll see how it performs though.

I rebuilt mine myself. It a very simple device. Get a high quality o-ring kit and the recommended oil and that all you need. Disassemble/drain the stabilizer and clean it good. Install the new o-rings then take a milk jug or something similar and cut the top off. Make sure all the air bleed screws are out of the unit then put all the parts into the jug then fill it with oil. Assemble it inside the jug under the oil making sure you dont get air into the unit. You wont even have to bleed it this way. Its messy but it takes less than an hour and you dont have the down time of sending it off, but I wouldnt blame you if you did....
