So I got everything buttoned back up after the front end rebuild.
Plastic all on and shined
Took her out for a short test ride.
Wobble is gone, so new steering stem bearings,OEM, made a world of difference.
Forks are good and dry so new seals are good.
My question is with sag and fork height?
I placed a 4" spacer in for the .092 RaceTech spring. Came to that length by measuring the diff between OEM and RT.
Fork seems to be lower between seal and lower tree. Running bar riser so I was able to place in previous height.
Don't know if it is me or?
Checked sag and it is at 82.5 mm.
I'm told if I have too much sag, increase spacer size.
Bike rides firmer but seems to feel like its bottoming out on bumps. Forks never seem to compress all the way together so?
Will increasing pre-load assist or?
I know, alot of questions but forgive me as this is my first dive into suspensions.
I have new tires arriving this week so I'll have the front tire off anyhow if needed to do any additional fork tweaking.
Thanks as always
