Message: [QUOTE="xenasdaddy, post: 124164, member: 22638"] Well, First I would like to ask, is there supposed to be approximately 1/4" of "play" between the damper spring and the damper bushings when the bushings are slid down to touch the lower part of the damping assembly, or is the spring supposed to have tension applied on it when the damping assembly is removed from the fork? Does the lower part of the damper assembly on the inner assembly simply get spaced further down the inner chamber by having slack in the spring while the chamber is out of the fork? was that as confusing as it sounds?! sorry but i am likely not using all the correct terminology to describe this. here is a pic of what i am calling the inner chamber spring assembly: [url]http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1409053&a=12886532&p=51540293&Sequence=0&res=high[/url] With the VERY gracious telephone and email help of my local MX-TECH rep and DRN, I was able to change both my shock spring (2000 cr250) and my fork springs. However, I am a bit confused as to if I accomplished my task on the front end. You see, my forks make a "knocking" or "clunking" sound when i compress them fairly hard with the front brake on. This only happens towards the very bottom of the stroke. I DID make sure that there was no binding by following kxvet's and shaggy's advice on tighteneing sequence, etc. it sounds to be coming from both forks near the lower half somewhere. also, it only happens on the compression, not, the rebound of the movement. i have redisassembled the left fork tube and found no obvious (to me) cause. the steering head is fine also. any suggestions or comments are welcome. thanks, xd [/QUOTE]
