Forgive if this has been posted before
this is more of a niggle than anything else
my front pre-load adjusters are set at no3,but the left hand adjuster keeps moving out of alignment..its only slight but i have to keep moving it to keep it level.
any ideas folks
as per usual any feed back is greatly received

It's possible that the preload adjuster is 'hanging' on the spring, wind the adjuster a good bit past where you need it to be and then back to the spot you want.

This is extremelt rare but I've seen it a couple of times, the adjuster shouldn't wind the spring up but this has definately been the case twice that I've seen, if this fails to sort it out you'll need to whip the cap off and ensure that the fork is assembled properly.
