[QUOTE="stumpy lord, post: 3047, member: 207"] [b]dampers[/b] Hi all, When using Kawasaki dampers you are wll advised to fit penny washers above and below the eye end of the damper,as the rubber bush has been known to work its way out of its housing .If this should happen on your machine, the eye end can then drop off its mounting bolt with potentialy disasterous results. Allso when attaching the said eye end to its mounting bolt, use two plain nuts instead of a nylock nut, due to the fact the eye end needs to be able to turn on its mounting bolt you can not fully tighten down a nylock nut AS far as I know this kind off damper is filled with grease,not oil, I may of course be wrong, but Roger and I have been using them now for many years with no sign off a leak. cheers stumpy.
