My left fork feels way too stiff. I opened it up and the fork oil is at the recommended level and the springs are the same. When opened up the cartridge won't drop down unless I put a good amount of force on it,the other one returns normally. Could this be a valve or piston issue? Edit: R6 forks with Ohlins 25mm carts.
That sounds more like a compression valve issue than a stiction issue, then. You are talking about pushing the cartridge down and not the outer fork tube, right?
that could be a lot of things. What is the compression clicker set at? Do you have the special tools to pull the cartridge out? Do you have the special tool to pull the compression holder out?
Compression is half out on both forks. I have a set of stock forks just sitting in my room. Could I just swap out the compression valve assembly and see if that solves the problem? I don't have the tools necessary to remove the carts.
Sounds like that cart needs to be busted open and inspected to make sure there's no debris clogging the compression valve. How many races do you go between servicing the forks?
Found the problem, mixed my compression and rebound settings up. Recounted the clicks and they both feel good. Thanks for the trouble shooting help anyways. Cheers
Having the bike in the living room next to the TV, it's easy to be a few beers in and decide "Hey I better get to workin on that bike".
