Hello, I have tried searching all night but haven't seemed to find anyone mentioning this issue (if it is an issue).
I have a 2007 crf250r with stock Suspension.
Whenever I remove my front tire and put it back on, the front axle always seems to need a little force to get it through both forks. I double check the height of the upper Tubes in the tripple clamps, and I make sure they are exactly the same height. Today I decided to see if maybe the entire fork could be a different length than the other. I put just the axle on, and before pushing it all the way through, I looked at the level of the axle to the other forks axle hoke. It looked a little low in the hole, so I lowered the right fork by about 2 millimeters in the tripple clamps. I pushed the axle through and this time it moved in smoothly with no force.
The top of the tubes are now slightly different levels in the tripple clamps, by 2 millimeters or so. Is this okay, or should I still make the tubes the same level in the top of the tripple clamps since I've never had noticeable issues while riding before?
Or could this be an issue?
I've replaced the fork seals in the past (just once on each fork to refresh the oil and seals) and never noticed any damage.
Thank you for any help
