Okay guys well I changed my fork oil yesterday and everything went well and dandy until I got the forks back on the bike and went to adjust the rebound and compression and realized I cannot turn either screw either way.
I obviously did not have the cap adjusted right when I reinstalled it. I did as the manual said
For the nut on the damper rod, I had them at 12 mm from the top of the nut to the top of the threads. It seemed too far to me but that's what the manual said. Where that was at the nut was almost all the way threaded down the rod to where it couldnt't go any farther (about 1/2" down).
Also, for the cap for the screws I used a vernier caliper and set it to where it was 13 mm from the very bottom of the cap where the rod threads on to the little silver screw inside the hole that presses on the assembly.
Something was obviously wrong. Can anyone give me a better description of where these need to be set at so it will all work right for me? If any one had pictures that would be wonderful.
Also, what's the easiest way to get this fixed. Is the wheel and all going to have to come back off? If so do I just need to remove top triple, remove wheel/axle, unscrew cap, use spring compressor tool/holder and then remove the cap and readjust everything?
I was feeling all great and accomplished and had everything but the headlight back on when I realized tihs :tantrum2::tantrum2::tantrum2:
Thanks,
Spencer
