Fork air gaps

Hello just a quickie..

Replaced my fork seals and topped up with motul 5 weight oil. Oil quantity was 300ml/cc's.

Think i may have over filled them using a not very accurate measuring container as they only seem to compress about 2-3", other bikes ive been on are much softer and mine just feel a bit too firm. Im new to bikes and had to replace the fork seals as soon as i got it so have no base for comparison other then riding freinds bikes. When i stripped the forks the valving was cleaned up and no problems found with the valving or springs, the springs are not coil bound so im thinkiing BAD MEASURING CONTAINER / OVER FILL + SMALL AIRGAP = FIRM SUSPENSION.

I wouldave thought that over filling them by 10-20mm would be noticable.

Bike is 2007 gasgas pro

    Yup, Airgap was too small by about 10mm. Surprising the difference 10mm can make!
