now, the guy i got the bike from deflated everything so he might be able to get on the machine, the forks are softer than a runny custard, i was under the impression that they can be re-charged with air or preferbly nitrogen ( i have a small supply of this) does anyone know what the pressure would be when applying said gas to the front??
also i am after a diagram of the choke cable layout as i have a bodged system and would prefer to have it as its supposed to be, thanks in advance

Re: forks and choke
Don't waste time or money with nitrogen. 
It is only used in closed system high pressure dampers to stop oil from oxidizing and changing the damping character.
Tenere forks are open system type with low pressure. Any AIR will do.

So I stopped worrying and lo and behold, things did get worse!
