96 ST1100 ABS, linked brake model.
Question on the fork on my bike. I have them off the bike just haven't opened up yet so I'm not positive on the internals.
In taking each fork leg (before rebuild) and manually compressing it, I find that the left (drivers side) fork leg has heavy rebound and compression damping, the right (passenger side) leg has ZERO damping.
Is this correct, how it should be?
Reading my Clymer manual it says one leg has a damping rod, the other is a cartridge style. They both are referred to as damping assemblies at some point in the manual (or I think they do, its confusing me).
Just wondering if one leg has ALL the damping, the other only spring? As I said I have them off the bike and hope to rebuild them soon (I have a box full of OEM Honda parts, Sonic springs and 1 qt of PJ1 10w fork oil).
Thanks
