Anything to worry about?
Total Recall
Posts: 209
I found two cracks in my forks on the underside of the crown this morning. I'm just wondering if it's anything to worry about or whether i should just keep riding on it as usual. Here's a pic of the crack. It's the same on both sides.

I can't see any major cracks from that picture but if you think they could be deep stop using the forks.
not working

Sometimes it overheats. You have to make sure it's in a ventilated place all the time.

Oviously its cause for concern. You could keep riding them atm, but watch out for the crack progressing and getting bigger.
start saving/looking for new forks tho, those are going to be goosed pretty soon.

Very common on DJ's.
how the bloody hell did you notice that though?!
they should be alright for a while, but if i was you i would flog them while they are worth something and get some newer ones. 07 DJ3's can be had for about 160-170 quid.

Hmm i doubt anyone would really be interested in a set of DJ's that are on their way out surely?
I'll probably just ride em till they're completely jamed. I noticed it because I'm pretty paranoid about my forks; I've already snapped a set of DJ2 lowers so i give them a check over now and again. Looks like I'll just buy a new frame and forks cause the rear end is twisted on my frame, damn DMR's!

Fair enough, don't want to break your face though!
Your dmr is really nice, even though it's not a _particularly_ special build, it just looks "right" if you know what I mean?

Hah yeah true, last time i snapped my forks i bailed pretty badly.
I'll probably get a set of rigids as i ride with one of the DMR riders and he'll be able to sort me a pair of trailblade 2's real cheap.
