Sticky Forks

[Wags]

Hello all, I took the forks off the rocket to change the oil and give a clean out as they have been a bit hard when riding.What I have found is that when the forks are off the bike they function perfectly but when they are back on the bike they seem to get quite jerky on the rebound when raising the bike up.Have replaced oil with Belray 5w synthetic with 89mm air gap Was wondering if some of you other captains have got any ideas on what is happening..Thanking you Wags

Did you centre the forks after you refitted them back to the bike ?
Try loosening the triple clamps and axel nut , spin the front wheel and apply the brake hard . Do this a couple of times and then tighten all the bolts and see if the problem remains .
If it does , then it could be time to replace the springs ?

Hi Nat, I'll give that a try thanks for that!
