All 2st 50mm zokes w bleeders

[marcmo0]

I am on my second set, different brands, of fork bleeders for 50mm zokes. They dribble oil every time I press them. Typical protocol is to put bike (center or kick) on stand and lift front wheel off ground to let the air out. There is a drop of oil that gets released with the air every time as well. Is this normal for these forks?? It has been doing it since day 1, but finally just getting around to asking. Its annoying to have fork oil over the tops of both tubes at the end of every ride as I bleed multiple times throughout the day.

I just installed a set of Motion Pro bleeders on my TE 450. The first few times they bled the air cleanly. The last time I bled them, the left one blew a bit of oil onto my finger. We shall see how it goes.

Thanks dirtdame. I had those too and same deal. Keep me posted. If its normal, then I will just roll with it. Happy Holloween

Oil is splashed around while you are riding coating everything, so it would be natural for some to want to come out.

 

[shawbagga]

yeah its normal

Yep, even the old school bleeders on my 84 IT do that.
