Hey there!

I am new to this forum, so please forgive me if this has been covered before.

I just finished replacing the front fork oil seals on my FJ 1100. All seemed fine during the disassembly and reassembly. Nothing out of the ordinary. After the shocks were put back together, I took the bike for a little ride. Any little hole in the road now bottoms out the forks. Any time the front brake is applied a little aggressively, the forks bottom out. Any ideas what I did to my forks?? It was not like this before I replaced the seals. The ride was quite decent before.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dean

Hello and welcome Dean

Forgive me for asking a stupid question, But....You did put fork oil in them, didnt you?

Try asking your question Here I am sure these people will sort you out.

Don't forget to intruduce your self first.

Truly a valid question, but yes I did add the required amount of oil to the forks.

Thanks,

Dean

If i remember right that bike is fitted with a anti-dive system, have you put this system back together properly? If not I'll borrow a friends manual (this friend has the same bike), to try to answer your question as some bikes have individual traits to themselves.
