Kyb fork issue 2018 and 2023 Help Please
My 18 would feel like the fork dropped whenever front end left the ground, I eventually redid them with the internals from a yamaha450f set that I bought for my 01 conversion(which I still havent done ) Problem went away..... Now my 23 is doing the same thing . At first on my 18 I thought my head bearings were loose thats kind of how it feels, but that wasnt it as I replaced the bearings. Then somehow I "fixed " it when I put the 450 internals in. Anyone know or have an educated guess what it might be? I can rebuild an engine semi blindfolded.... but am ignorant on suspension.
Also any New England suspension tuner recommendations ? Thanks. Spring is just arooooouuund the corner............ God Bless |

Curious if the cartridge is bled properly.

Forks
Would that cause it ? I sprung them So i opened them up but pretty sure Bled em completely. But ............... Do you know for sure that that would be a symptom/cause. If so i'll crack em open again.

Honestly, not sure. I know air in the cartridge can do some weird things, though. I'm not versed well enough in suspension even though I do service my own forks. hopefully someone smarter than I comes along to enlighten us.

A shim can fracture and you would lose rebound dampening on one leg.... ?
Or one of the shimstacks has come apart... You won't know until you pull it apart to check. Just a wild guess.... For off road suspension work, Drew Smith at works enduro rider (WER) has always had a good reputation on the east coast. Jeff

Air in the cartridge can definitely do the above. I always overfill them as the excess is purged when you stroke the cartridge before reassembly. They are quite simple to inspect and assemble. (With the right tools)
