G'day, I've just bought a second hand minibike. 2006, I think it's an AMS brand. It has a DUCAR engine. Completely stock. Been hardly ridden (apparently). It goes ok except for the front forks - They are non USD and they don't seem to spring all the way back up under its own weight. I've had a bit of a look and it looks like they don't have any oil in them at all. I've pulled them (the forks ) out and unscrewed the top cap and inspected the spring etc. To my amazement, there is no oil to be seen. Is this unusual for these Chinese bikes to have oil-less front forks?
Removing the rubber plug at the botom of the fork I can see there is an air valve at the bottom. I've tried pumping a bit of air in but it doesn't seem to build any pressure and/or help the situation.
Any ideas anyone?
