lineaway Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 More than likely, too much oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcman56 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 If they are the same as the 08 rev 3, you need to remove the cartridge on one side and drain it of oil prior to filling the forks with the recommended volume. If not, you will have too much oil. The cartridge also needs to be bled of air during the refill process. The owner's manual states this but it is very easy to miss. The cartridge comes out easily but if you don't want to remove it, you could fill by level instead of volume. The 08 manual shows a level measurement but incorrectly states one side is done with the spring installed. General agreement is that it is done with the spring removed.
