[QUOTE="Afast03nNJ, post: 414185, member: 2182"] I just finished installing the 04 springs in my 03, along with new 5W fork fliud from Yamaha. My initial test ride home from my shop had a nice smile on my face. A much firmer front end, a lot less dive when braking also. BUT.... I now have what seems to be something binding or rubbing inside the forks. When I push the front end up and down I hear what sounds like something rubbing, perhaps the springs? I don't know, the swap is pretty basic, I've done many fork oil flushes, even rebuilt a few and never had anything go wrong. This was a basic stock spring swap, what could possibly be causing the rubbing sound? Almost sounds like the springs are rubbing against the sides of the fork tubes. Any suggestions before I tare into them again?........ [/QUOTE]
