Title: How to remove top triple tree
Post by theikeman on 08/21/07 at 22:11:49

The top piece of the triple tree on my 96 is pitted so bad I need to remove it to repair or replace it.
Has anyone done that and/or can somebody tell me how?
Thanks

IKE
;D

I don't have service manuall in from of me but on other bikes:

1) remove handle bars & risers.  (remember the towel on tank!!)
2) lift front end to remove pressure on dampers (shocks).  
3) remove the three nuts.  Caution on the nuts above damper as there are o-rings seals there.
4) pop off.  Suggest a rubber faced hammer.

You may want to look at a parts microfische of the trees & damper assemblies before starting.

I just saw a triple-tree top on ebay. It looked pretty good:
