Porsche Drive, Run & Ride!




EXCEPT, when I took the 1996 forks apart, the internal parts didn't look anything like the 1998 fork parts. There is no spring in the 1996 fork and the position of the elastomer stack is lower. The outside frame of these Votec manufactured forks look exactly the same on both the '96 and '98 Bike S models. But the insides are totally different. So, the following instructions are for the 1996 Porsche Bike S suspension forks. This year/model is the first year this bike was produced and very rare. The 1998 Bike S (with the Votec GS97 forks) are much more common. Tip: Get the bike off the ground with a bike stand or support - makes this process much easier. Remove the brake assembly by lifting the carbon fiber "arm" away from the brake mounts. Loosen the wheel nut and remove the tire/wheel. At the top of the steering assembly, loosen the bolts shown in the photo. No need to completely remove the bolts. Loosen the steerer tube cap bolt and remove the cap.





Be careful not to completely remove the bolt as the lower cap plate will just fall into the steerer tube. You can use a thin screwdriver to gently pry the cap upward to remove. Then remove the "three circle" support bracket frame. This should come off easily. I like to place the steerer tube cap back on the steerer tube to keep the forks in place and not fall off the frame. At the bottom of the aluminum fork tubes, loosen the bolts until it stops. Remove the other side of the brake support by removing the left bolt. I like to place the bolt back into the mount after the brake assembly is removed - just to avoid losing it. Remove the aluminum "caps" on the top of the black fork tubes. I didn't take a picture of this step, Warning - it's difficult to remove these. Use a towel and vise grip pliers to grab and twist the caps off.





Be careful as it's easy to scrape or damage these caps. The caps do not serve any purpose other than keeping dust and dirt from going into the upper fork tube. So, if you rough them up a bit, it's not the end of the world. It was much easier to remove the taller caps on the 1998 Bike S. The 1996 model was much harder - which is probably why Votec changed the caps on the '98 model. Then, using a long handle socket, loosen the bolt on the upper elastomer post from the top of the black fork tube. With the lower and upper bolts lose, you should be able to pull the silver aluminum fork tubes downward and away from the bike. With the aluminum fork tubes removed, you can then pull the lower elastomers downward right off the metal elastomer post. There will be nine elastomers on each side (again, this is on the 1996 Bike S). Discard the old elastomers, but make sure to save the white plastic spacers. These spacers are reusable. Now pull the metal elastomer post up through the top of the black fork tubes. There will be four elastomers. Two of larger and two of the smaller elastomers. I had to turn the bike upside down to get these to come out because they are too far down inside the tube to reach with fingers or tools. Discard all of the used elastomers and then wipe down the spacers and elastomer post. Then you can clean the inside of the aluminum and black suspension fork tubes if needed. And this ends part 1. When the new elastomers arrive in the mail, I'll reassemble and post photos and instructions to put the 1996 Bike S suspension forks back together.





This is mainly an excellent crossover, high-conclusion, athletics, family that is determined by the modification displayed, along with equipment degree. Good car, which performed in previous versions. A variety of products and a range of possibilities is available if you choose this vehicle. The traditional model will surely not satisfy a significant transformation. This is because this collection of automobiles is pretty new, so there is no required. By 2019, the little CUV can be a GTS model with some engine and suspension adjustments and appearance usually slightly altered. Many assert that it must be a real Porsche in every regard and that with the ability to have SUV set up. Excellent efficiency as well as good fashion, provided by reasonably priced tasks through its study course. Inside may be the 鈥渟port鈥?is definitely an obstacle, 鈥渨ith significant and innovative consumption of Alcantara plus reddish colors such as sewing and beyond the tachometer.





The difference characteristic one thing the programmer insists on, then the changes are feasible only in information. The GTS features also take erased badging plus trim Microsoft windows, carbon fibers shadows about the doors and darker quad exhaust ideas. Macan SUV was presented being a kid model of your Porsche Cayenne SUV, but he fought for your place of your respected and accepted auto. Possibly the very first time we can, we are able to point out that a car is delivered having a user interface that may be not outdated with regards to the telephone within the pocket. 2019 Porsche Macan, they will be an excellent location linked to the driver. Some are safely on the mind and also on the steer. Porsche says the Macan GTS 0-60 will manage in 4.8 seconds whenever it readies together with the optional Sports Chrono package, unveiled for launch management, using the best pace of 159 miles per hour. 2019 Macan has outstanding coping with an exceptional ease and comfort. Porsche Macan 2019 all projects will certainly use a 7-pace transmission and drive all tires. 74,000 for your change turbo. On the very same system as well as the same design exactly like its forerunner, it is ideal for 5 travelers.
