This rough diagram shows the inner workings of the Votec GS97 bike forks used on the late 1990s Porsche Bike S and Bike FS. The elastomer posts (1) connect to a metal rod (2) and the entire assembly (3) fits into the fork tube and lower frame.
The elastomers, spacers and grease can be purchased from www.suspensionforkparts.net.
This diagram can help to stack the elastomers, spacers and spring properly on the elastomer post.
Bought an S today and shocks need to be rebuilt. Do you a copy of manual?

Hello does anyone have a manual for the air shock please?
ReplyDeleteHi there. Love your site. Ive had a 1998 Porsche FS for 12 years. Its rarely used and in original condition but I believe the shocks need rebuilding due to age. Im based in New Zealand so they are rare here. Could you send a copy of the manual in english to me please msaville@orbconsulting.co.nz very much appreciated...
ReplyDeleteCan do! Email me at jimh@pca.org so we can exchange email addresses. I can email you the FS diagram.
ReplyDeleteHi there! I have a late 90s FS that needs some TLC and wanted to see if it was possible to ask for a diagram of the FS and an English manual for the Votec fork?
ReplyDeleteJJLi, I don’t have a way to send these through blogger. Send me an email at jimh@pca.org and I’ll email you back the owners manual and the GS4 manual.
DeleteHi, same story here.. I have 2 '98 FS models that the forks just died on. A manual and a parts supplier would be awesome..also need brake reservoir caps (cracked at screw holes)if you have any help with that situation. email is mikesvilarich@yahoo.com Much appreciated!
