|   02 X-Fly top out help | MTBKR
Aug 12, 2002 12:19 AM | | I just got through with an oil change and disaasembly on my 2002 X-fly 100. Now it slightly tops out with the rebound set any less than 12 turns in from full fast. I do remember a short spring that fell out of the sliders when I inverted the unit. I don't remember which side it came from. Could this be my problem, if so which side does the spring go into? Thanks. |

For the right leg the rebound spring should be located on the cartridge, for the left it should be on the pumping rod. Reassembling the fork with one missing would deffinately increase the top out feel as the springs are supposed to cushion the top out. You'll need to disassemble the fork again, determine which side is missing the spring and reinstall it. This does require the removal of both the cartridge and the pumping rod from the stantions. |
