Forks not compressing

(1/3) > >>

Sagid:
Hi
I replaced fork seals by my self for the first time yesterday, used Rick's helpful instructions.
Didn't have no problems doing the job.
I just took the bike out for a test but the forks only travel about 2 inches at most... after 2" it feels like hitting solid rock, I didn't hear the "clang" as when it hits bottom. It just does not compress any further.

Any thoughts??

I have replaced my fork seals and it works perfect.What oil did you use and how much?

Sagid:
I used maxima fork fluid 7 wt. oil level at 4" from the top.

Oke that is about what i used.i used 600ml on 1 tube

Did you put the busses and every thing in place as it was? is that pin(rod that comes out of that tube thing in? and can you ajust the shocks? Did you pump the oil in? That is all i can think of.

you can also adjust the shock underneath how fast it must go up and dows maby try ajusting it?
