basically i had the wheel of today to do the discs and i opened my boot and the bike fell on my front forks and compresed em. put the bike back together and didnt think anything of it. got home tonight and my forks are lower that normal and not springing back like they usually do but i can pull them out :banghead: i dont have much luck :cry:
you cant break the forks with just the weight of the bike falling on them, theyre meant to cope with the weight of bike and rider over bumps so that wouldnt of broken them, they are most likely already a bit stiff and have just compressed a fair way down, have they got black grease on the chrome legs? if so theyre possibly on their way out already. your best bet it to get some runner vx 4 stroke forks as the ones on early sp's and fx's are wank. you want the right way up design forks not the upside down ones already on your bike. youll be looking at about 120 ish for a decent straight set with all threads intact and seals not leaking etc. make sure you get a good set to save hassle later on. also if you do need to rebuild them these forks are alot easier to do :thumbsup:
