Nice job! Keep us informed

[Ming]

Pozdrav i dobrodošli. That looks a nice restoration, hope you enjoy riding - they are a great bike to ride.

[Morini047]

Thanks,
the project is not yet finished, these days I have renewed gauges

Ming, are really the baddy from Flash Gordon in the 1950's who used to scare the living shits out of me wth all your multi lingualisms?

[Morini047]

does anybody know how much oil goes into the front fork on kanguro X1
or maybe have some service manual

[3potjohn]

When I come to do an oil change on the forks on my Coguaro I shall first remove the top caps and try inserting a rod to measure the level. Whilst the level might not be correct it should be the same for both. Also on some forks one can struggle to remove filler caps, so if you have drained the oil already you are stuck.
I have the chart from the manual and Cagiva elefant manuals so something should tally.

@3potjohn thanks but that bike was in really bad condition and the fork is completely without oil... so im stuck

one more question: is this for air pumping it's a little weird

Here's a link to a copy of the relevant Marzocchi file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kd01ms ... sp=sharing. I have a user's manual too if requested. I will leave the link open for a week or two.

[Morini047]

Thanks Ming, can you share a manual please..

[Ming]

A Big Nik? Here's the Kanguro Manual (elec start, but no real difference) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fs_pDz ... sp=sharing

A good read with some ingenious solutions. I hope you had a glass of Medica to celebrate.

Nice job you're doing there! Glad you are thinking of painting the frame too-if that bike had seen a British winter and the salt we use in winter the paint would be gone already. Original is great but new paint is better

Medica is for girls we drink homemade moonshine
Moonshine is the reason for ingenious solutions.
