[QUOTE="2smoke, post: 154897, member: 563"] Your probably fine. But that left had for fork adjustment screws top and bottom where probably over adjusted just or forced a little. So before the screw bottomed out or wouldnt turn any more. It should have hit the detent (clicked) and then maybe went a little bit more and then just stopped but not really (clicked) or when into another detent. If so the last actual (click) or detent you felt is where its supposed to be. So it sounds to me that your adjustment screws may have been forced a little on that one side with the greater adjustments. You can do one of two things dont ever over adjust those screws and live with it. Or replace them top and bottom adjustment screws. But you have have to replace other stuff associated with them if you replace them. Now. You stated that you only replaced one side fork seal and wiper. Big no no. when you replace the brakes on your car. Do you only replace just one side? Nope, you do both sides. Same thing applies to your forks seals. What you do to one side you should always do to the other. Ive never purchased fork and wiper seals that didnt come in pairs. Always replace them all at the same time. So if one fork starts leaking you really should replace the other side. Leaking or not. So match up the compression and rebound setting to the smaller number of adjustments. And replace all of the fork seals and wipers. And replace the oil in both forks with equal amount of oil. Or if your not sure. Call up your local bike shop and talk to somebody in the service dept. Find out what they think and go from there. Sometimes actually being able to talk to somebody instead of trying to understand what Im trying to discribe in text is much easier. [/QUOTE]
