    Front forks travell only 5 cm and then it bottoms out , what could be the problem? Maybe too much oil or something bent inside? I had the front wheel off and both of the forks have the same problem. Maybe bad service? Tried letting air out but didn't help. Should I disassemble it or leave to a mechanic in a shop?

    the bike in the picture is a 99 not a 2000
    you might try checking your oil level, did the problem just start or did you just buy it?

    It started when I bought it. It says in the papers for the motorcycle that it's a 2000 but the plastics are a 99 yea.. (btw it's street legal)

    tere was a comment on another thread from a member from down under that they did the 99-2000 thing there
    where are you located?
    back to your dilemma, the first thing I would do is to check the oil level in the forks, do you have an owners manual? the instructions are in there

    I've got the repair manual. It is there. I am from Slovakia , bought the motorcycle as is , didn't change the plastics but I like more the 99 look. Thought about swapping the forks for some newer or different but never done it before so I don't which forks would fit the best , or what to modify.

    Have you tried exercising all of the compression and rebound adjusters?

    If they don't move then there's a good chance that's your problem and they are going to need to come apart.
