I screwed my preload adjusters all the way down and now one of my blue thingys is sticking up farther than the other. Is this normal?

Uh, doesn't look normal. Why did you screw them all the way down in the first place? |

Have you tried backing them all the way out? I'm not suggesting it, just wondering. If you're gonna do THAT many wheelies/stoppies it might pay to keep wheel/head bearings readily available. |

Dont use spring pressure, use your compression and rebound adjusters to stiffen it up. By the way, that is not normal and you should have someone who knows suspension work on it. 35k on my bike with lots of wheelies and I never had a wheel bearing or head bearing issue. Blew a few tube seals though. |

I always get my "thingys" confused with my "doo-fotchies" and "thingamabobs." Thank GOD for the technical manual! |

Hey there buddy, that aint right. do not ride far, fast, or in traffic with that blue thingy poked up like that. Have a qualified suspension tech look at that ASAP. not kidding, that is NOT RIGHT. |

HUH!! I hit 125 today twice. And rode about 4 miles worth of wheelies. It seemed fine. Hopefully someone who has had these apart before would chime in here and tell me what happened and how to fix. I think a jamnut fell off inside, HTFDTH. |
