hello all,
a couple of days ago i replaced my stock 02 cr250 showa fork springs (and oil) with new springs more suited for my weight...220 lbs.
after doing so, every time i compress and release the forks, i hear what sounds like the springs rubbing against the outer wall of the fork. is this normal...or did i miss a step? i don't remember them making this sound when i first bought the bike.
the forks were re-assembled horizontally on a work bench...so maybe i was supposed to set them vertically to allow the spring to center itself. the manual didn't mention doing it that way, and i didn't think of it until after.
or is there a chance that once i get to ride this weekend, the springs will work their way to where they need to be?
thanks
