Son of a .... same problem happened to me a month ago at 175 hrs, so I broke down the forks for a re spring, service, and to fix this problem on the left fork.
Got it all apart and noticed the circlip that holds the pfp adjuster was out of its groove and just floating around in there. Got it back in place and tried stressing the part to get it to come loose. All seemed well.
Fast forward 3 rides and the damn thing popped again. However I don't remember seeing that washer that maybe goes directly beneath the circlip? I'll have to break it down again and check it out. Thanks for posting detailed pics everyone. Finding a thread like this is gold!!
First pic is with it popped
Second is how it should look
