[QUOTE="shockdoc, post: 404392, member: 23028"] Tracy......Put your bike on a stand. Loosen the 2 R/S axle pinch bolts. Take a small straight blade screwdriver and carefully tap it into the slot between the pinch bolts. Now you will be able to grab the lower leg with your 2nd & 3rd fingers and thumb on the axle. Pull & push the leg back & forth and you will see where there is no binding. Pull screwdriver out & tighten the bolts. This seems to me to be a much more accurate way of making sure the forks aren't bound up compared to just putting it on the ground and pumping brakes. Also if you have ever used a metal hammer to drive the axle in it will mushroom the end of the axle and make it almost impossible to center. The nut I am talking about is on the end of the cartridge rod. Its the rebound/midvalve piston nut. It does need to be tight and will let the forks blow through the stroke if there not. The rebound will be quick too. With all this right the stock fork springs should be good. Hope this helps some. doc [/QUOTE]
