Title: CR250M'76 Fork caps
Post by: Paul Harris on April 12, 2022, 11:00:52 am

Not sure if this bike has standard fork caps - they don't appear to screw in and have right-angled air valves. Left side looks like it's leaking.

Many different forks caps fit different forks, If you have a thread measure device ( most are 1mm per cem ) and then measure outside dia, so for example most 35mm forks caps will screw into another set.

Does the cap have a hex head, DG caps maybe?

No John, They're circular - sit below the top of the fork and don't screw in - they spin freely but are definitely fixed.

Is it possible that there are 77 125 forks that have a ring clip that is held in place with a plate on top usually with a m6 bolt but maybe with the air cap. a photo would help.        does it have leading axle ??

 12,13,14, 26  in this schematic

Actually the 76 250 has a similar set up

Thanks Noel - not leading axle. I've got photos but can't see how to post them on here?

Thanks Noel, I'll attempt to get them apart. They're obviously aftermarket or modified.
