Havnt drove my gs in a while and a mate needed a lend of a bike so took mine. Hes saying the front end is binding up. Stays down under braking and stays up under heavy acceleration. Anyone ever had this before? Im guessing the front yokes and wheel are out of align?
K25 front fsuspension binding
- Thread starter db-89
- Start date
What model, year and mileage?
And who did this work?
You have what is called “trapped stresses” .. loosen all the fork clamp bolts and front wheel spindle, bounce the front end up and down, working the suspension, then re-tighten everything. You should’ve done this after the front end was taken apart,
This is exactly what I thought but after a poke today,the left fork tube seems to be possibly slightly bent. Bike was dropped 3 years ago and tipped a back bumper of a can. Seem that moving everything around when it got front end work has taken it out of the "sweet spot " of the bent and put it in a more noticeable area. Had front shock out and you could still feel the binding. Move the upper tube by the top 19mm and you could feel it go loose and then tight as you moved it through 360 degrees
I was going to suggest twisting both stanchions and seeing if each one rotates with no tight points
