|   Z1 FR SL loudly "klacking" | rodiS
Oct 12, 2003 8:56 AM | | My brandnew Z1 FR SL has play between the retention ring and the top cap on the damper side. This results in a loudly "klacking" sound every time the fork starts moving or fully extends.
Any thoughts?

Oct 12, 2003 9:49 AM | | If you don't have enough negative pressure (center valve on the left leg), the fork tops out violently. My pump allowed some air to escape when removing the Zoke adapter so I lose about 50psi. I pump to 200, so when I take the pump off I end up at 150. The start of my travel is rough until the oil bath gets the bushings lubed again, but the roughness only lasts a few strokes so that is probably not your problem.
I have not been into the fork yet, so I have not seen the "retention ring". Can you cut a plastic shim or something to eat up some space?

Will add negative pressure and see what happens. Thanks for the answer, anyway.
