Just wondering i had pro-action rebuild my forks and they are making a "metal torque kinda squek " maybe new seals making noises?? or Do i have my forks in a bind? Not real sure gonna loosen everything up tonight and retighten. Is it common for new seals to make noises or did i over tighten something. I wnet 17 ftps on the triple clamps that sound right for a 96 kx250? My manual is on the way:(
Thanks

I worry that its pro-actions fault not the seal-they should not make that noise.The torque setting sounds right.I would take them back and get them fixed.:(

Brake cleaner. Also douse your rotor with it to remove any oil residue from the rotor.

STU.

My forks did that as well right after I got them back from RG3. After a few times of pushing the forks up and down the squeak went away. I assume it was that everything was put together realllly dry and nothing had worked oil in it yet. But who knows....it works great so I'm not worried.
