    I recently re-did the fork seals on my 2015 cbr1000. I backed out preload and damper settings before taking them apart. Put them back together, one fork adjust fine the other I can only get about 4 turns of preload in, stock setting was 7 1/2. What did I mess up?

    Pop the cap back off. Spacers could be out of place above spring.

    TWF2 2 heads are better than 1

    If same as gsxr bpf maybe you turned bottom spacer up side down.

    Ok thanks guys. First time with these forks and just needed some ideas on what I could have even gotten wrong, they are pretty simple forks when just doing the seals.
