Oil change WP 4054
« on: July 20, 2016, 06:30:34 pm »
Does anyone know if the oil change process for a set of WP 4054's non adjustable, is the same as the 4054 super adjusters?

when filling with oil you need a long needle or wire to hold the valve down to let the oil in if thats what you mean

Essentially I haven't done an oil change on a set and after pulling the cap off I realised they aren't the same as conventional forks from the same era.
I have a manual for a set of super adjusters that outlines the process, but mine are the non adjustable ones which seem to have different internals, so I'm not sure it's relevant.

Do a search on the site with WP 4054, there is heaps of scans etc. attached to some threads that I and others have loaded up.

Cheers, I have managed to find something in an ATK manual that's spot on. I noticed you had posted something for a set of WP 4054 ACIR forks, I have a set of upper fork leg stickers for the ACIR fork and always wondered what they where...

I had a crack at it this afternoon and I'm not real confident of the outcome, the manual outlines how to empty the forks, but not refill, and when your disassembling from both ends It's just a head fcuk...nothing on youtube either.
