[QUOTE="RM_guy, post: 117907, member: 20652"] [b]Yikes!!!![/b] Release the air when the forks are fully extended (front wheel off the ground) and retighten the bleed screws while the forks are still extended. The idea is to have a volume of air that is at 0 psi The air that is left in the forks, between the top of the oil and the top of the fork, is used to control the fork action at the end of the stroke. Air acts like a spring since it's compressable and without it the fork action would be VERY poor since the oil is not compressable. It be surprized if the forks even fully extented if they were bled the way you described. I'd stay away from that particular suspension guy:eek: [/QUOTE]
