heya people, as some of you will already know i did a Yoke Swap the other day on my 88 kawasaki AR125-b4

And as im basicly a noob to parts on bikes
(apart from 50cc hehehe)

when i unscrewed the left top fork and right fork screw

both of em went pppssssTTASSHSHHH and let out a load of Air (compressed?)
i put it all back together again. is it not as simple as screwing all back together again? do i have to suck out the air and do it or? am i fine with what i did?.

They will need to be repressurised. If you're lucky there'll be a tyre-type valve somewhere and you can do it with a footpump, using pressure figures from the manual. Can't be any more specific as I've never worked on an AR125, but I do know there is at least one Kawasaki model that does it that way!

Give Girders Scooter and motorcycles in airdrea near glasgow a call. The motorcycle engineers there will know how to fix it up for you mate. They done a good job on my AR.
