My R fork was missing the washer next to the preload spacer you show in your pic. Also found that getting the oil worked back into these forks is a real be-atch. Very messy! Any tips on that? I still gotta do the other one.
Edit: The L fork was also missing the washer next to the spacer. Doesnt seem to be a big deal though.
Also now that both forks are shimmed with more preload (12mm) and 5w weight oil, I think it is better. Def less fork dive under braking. But after testing (street only) I think I should go with 7w as suggested. 5w doesnt feel very different than stock in the rebound dept. I may also reduce preload to 8mm.
