Curious about the correct spacer length for the left tube???

Done all the ajustment's and changed oil to 5wt,,still feels a bit too stiff.

Wondering if the previous owner put in a longer spacer than should be.

I'm a little guy and so was the original owner,but I can roll down a hill and stab the front brake,, with all my weight ,and they only compress about

maybe 3inches. I back out all pressure and no pre-load,It just seems a bit too livley. Normal??? or should I cut a bit off the spacer or gain a few more pounds?? Thanks

I've got the fork seal to do on my 97 techno. i will measure the spacer when they are apart and let you know..

last time i did them i only put 340 ml of oil and this was fine for me .

Thanks, I was talking to my Brother this am and he re-minded me to check the new one he got when he replaced the spring on his 99' he never used,and sure crap it's about 3/4 of an inch shorter than mine. I'll swap them out and see if that's it.

I'm a bit leary though,, as to not using the recomended amount of 360cc of oil . :thumbup:
