Err can you put punctuation in that rambling as its just a muddle of words.

ok i fitted emulators as it said in the manual but now they dont compress any ideas

when you put the fork oil in, did you mesure the air gap on your forks with the spring out and compressed?

25-01-07, 11:30 PM

yes measured 130 mm from top of fork tube with forks compressed and no spring fitted

when you say dont compress, are the completley locked or just very hard to compress?

Is there any chance you put the emulator the wrong way around? Have you dismantled the forks and checked that everything is ok

there is a very tiny amount of gice about 5mm they are in the right way spring on emulator going up the fork tube towards the top nothing seemed untoward when i stripped them

Take every thing out, put a broom handle (wooden) down the inside of the leg and give it a tap with a hammer, put every thing back in when the leg is out again.

Mine used to stick down every time i changed the oil and seals

What spacers are you using at the moment? I take it you got the caps back on the top of the forks after putting emulators, springs and spacers in??? how much effort did this take?

My guess is that you have an obscene amount of preload ...

took 8mm off original spacers but it took some effort to get caps back on
