ME!
Check the bottom right...(this is the washer on top of the piston on the Base Valve)
Tried to drill more hole to make the fork a little plusher.
That stuff is harder than a rock! (well WAS) So I had to replace it, great.
Trip to the hardware store and try to find sumthin thin enough, with the right diameter ... Fat chance, but found a washer close enough with the right diameter but it was REALLY thick, like 5 times the thickness
Grinder and file, a few cussing and hours goes by and I came up with the Mcgyver alternative on the left.
i hope it'll hold up and work as good as it use to before I decided to screw with sumthin I shouldn't
I'll see if that's too many holes and too much oil flow on the next ride...if the weather ever clears
Sometimes I wish I lived in california (yeah I wanna ride THAT bad )
BTW, the reason of this post was: if you dunno what you're doin, be prepared to pay the price...Oh well, live and learn!
