Troubleshooting

Fork seals leaking after installation

Ensure fork tubes were installed straight and without scratching the surface during installation. Verify the correct fork oil level and type. Check that the fork seals were installed correctly and are not damaged.

Inconsistent damping or suspension feel

Confirm the correct amount and type of fork oil was used. Double-check that all internal fork components are correctly assembled and that the fork tubes are not bent. Air trapped in the forks can also cause issues; bleeding the forks might be necessary.

Difficulty fitting fork tubes into triple clamps

Ensure you are using the correct part for your specific motorcycle model and year. The triple clamps may require slight loosening to allow proper alignment before torquing down.
