Hello,
I'm about to pull my hair out trying to figure out what I did wrong. Hopefully someone here will have some insight.
I pulled the left fork off my 2005 SV650 today to replace a fork seal. Took the fork apart, laid out all the parts one, by one. I reassemble, just as I took apart, so I thought. Anyway, when I put the Racetec spring back in and spacer, I noticed it was an 1" down inside the tube instead of flush with the top like it was when I disassembled it. Figuring I most likely screwed something up, I took the fork apart again, examined everything and put it back together.with the same result. To make sure I wasn't crazy, I took the cap off the right fork and sure enough, the spacer was to the top of the fork.
Anyone have any idea what the hell happened? What could I have done wrong which would cause the spring to sit a whole inch lower in the tube now?
