Hi everybody,
I am French, excuse me for my not very good english.
I have a 1987 BMW K100 LT since 2 years.
Some days ago, I wanted to renew the front fork oil.
But, to my surprise, it seems I have a suspension from a K75 S.
Indeed, inside the stanchion, there are 2 suspensions springs instead one (for K100 LT) of about 20 cm length (I looked to the Haynes technical revue)
Do you think it is dangerous to ride with this kind of suspension or is it possible to change suspension from a K75 S to a K100LT?
And an other question: what is the difference between these 2 kinds of suspensions (I mean: softer, harder...)?
Thank you very much for your help, I am going to wait you answer before refitting the forks. Perhaps have I to find original K100LT forks?
Thanks again.
Olivier
