sawtooth Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Just changed the fork seals and dust cover seals on my 2003 Rev3, put 350ml of oil in the leg with the spring and 370ml in the other (as per Rev3 manual). The forks feel 'ok' but they seem to have a stiff spot about half way down the travel, i'm pretty sure this wasnt there before, is there anything i should be checking? (i'm new to this by the way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 only 1 little step I can think of , maybe , Loosen the axle and all the pinch bolts up and bounch the suspension abit , so everything can settle . then tighten it all back up ...

We did notice when we put it all back together that one fork leg was a few inches longer than the other which made the front wheel axle a right pain to get back in as the bottom of the forks were nowhere near in inline, is this right?

rlracer Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Yes it is normal, installing the fork brace will help alot in putting the front wheel back on after servicing the forks, just leave it a little loose so you can square the forks up.
