so i went to the auto wreckers junk yard and found a scotts stabilizer...i went to pay for it and the guy had no idea what to charge me so i offered 25$.....and he said ok...what a steal..but it needs some work, it was working ok when i got it but it seemed like there was air in it..so i drained it out...what oil should i put in it and is there replacement parts for it? i need the o-ring for the adjustment **** (left ****)

ecthemc

Yikes.. I wouldnt use it.. to me its like dropping a helment from the roof of my house than plastic welding it..

i put brake fluid in it and it works fine...its not that complex of a machine

ecthemc

Well good.. it's always that one tank slapper thats gonna prove it's not working properly but im not jinxing u I hope it works damn well just be safe with any safety related equipment u got off of a junker.. u know?

dont make speed records on forks u got off a wrecked bike etc ;P

^ ^ sick seat stander christ man so you're saying you would not wear any helmet at all before you'd wear a plastic welded one?

I don't think brake fluid is thick enough. I've heard of people putting 90w gear oil in their stock gsxr dampers lol. I think you can mail it to scotts and they rebuildit for you for cheap. I think you're supposed to do that every couple of years no matter what.

i tried 80/85 weight oil and it was a workout to move the bars when it was cranked all the way, like if i had to dodge a pot hole real quick i wouldnt b able to. hmmm, i gotta call scotts for a quote on a rebuild if i cant find the new o-rings to fit

Just send it to Scotts.. They completley rebuild it for like 30 bucks.

super amazing

Sorry.. I may have said that wrong


What I meant was.. using something repaired, fixed.. Like a Helment.. Or a Stabalizer etc.. Is a risk..


I was basicly stating that I woudlnt use a repaired helment.. its kinda like goin on the highway without a helment.. something you just dont do !!!

I lost another friend this summer on the road so.. I'm real careful about myself..

but what do I know im jus a parkin lot stunta!

on that note ill just change my avatar to a a 12oclock sit down scrape

to be safe, i would send it to scotts ,like guys are saying. a lot of little parts in the damper and best to let the makers check it out.

Good idea!

Thats how you want it for stoppies, turn it down the rest of the time. It only takes a second.
