Hello all out there. I have a 2000 Legend TT since 2000 and have only 12500 miles on the clock now my baby has a bit of a hick up the front fork starts leaking. I ordered already the parts but I cannot find anywhere how much the oil fill level in mm is? Has somebody an idea ? Otherwise I am living in NJ USA 07419 postcode area anybody around interested in a ride together ?
According to my Haynes manual [#2162] pg. 6.1, fork oil for your Legend should be measured from the top of the tube with the spring removed and the leg fully compressed = 126mm. Oil is specified at SAE 10w-20. Enjoy your Legend. I have one just like it in my fleet. Great bike ! ...J.D. P.S.Same.spec. applies to 900 Thunderbird, Adventurer.
Hi J.D. Thanks a lot this helps just waiting now for the parts still riding just monitoring the leak what else to do in this madness hope this nightmare is soon over.
Just lying low here in the California "Outback". The virus has not hit it's peak here in the west yet. Stay well. Be safe. ...J.D.
Peter Noack. Welcome to the family. Do hit the upload a file button bottom right corner and show the inmates here in the asylum your steed. Getting rare now the Legend. Regards & Ride Safe. Joe.
Too many of these bikes are being hacked up by hipsters trying to re-invent the wheel. ...Mine is staying mostly original. ...J.D.
If you ever come down to South Jersey let me know. I am in NJ 08088. Might try and hit a couple of events this year if the summer doesn't get to crazy after this lock down lets up. http://triumphnationalrally.com/ https://www.cyclefish.com/motorcycle_event/55716
Also if you need one you can make a seal driver for about $6. All you need is 2ft of 2in PVC pipe. one 1 1/2 inch PVC bushing (fits 41 mm seals) one hose clamp big enough to go around the 2in pipe. Cut the inside lip off the bushing so that it will fit over the slider. Then cut a 5/8 inch grove on both sides of the pipe about 4 inches long. Once you put the bushing on top of the seal, put the 2in pipe on the fork slider and tighten the hose clamp on the pipe so that it rests on top of the bushing. Then put the fork leg on a block of wood and hit the 2in pipe with a rubber mallet. It will seat the seal easily with one or two good hits.
Hi Thanks but I rather go for new seals because the age of the bike. Like to keep it in good shape. Stay safe
