jr.ts broken

[KOW49]

i got a 02 jr.t pro QR-20 plus and today I :censored: up my internals there is no sound of oil moving and it seems to be just compressing the oil and spring no damping

should I send for warrenty>?


anyone else had this problem any stories solutions suggestions

PS : if u dont have anything good to say dont post ;)

what is not being damped? the compression or the rebound
check your oil height. chances are you are running low on oil, thats why you arent hearing that noise and your fork feels different :S

I was racing DH today and the fork totally went mush and it rebonds alot and there is no sound of oil going through the damping rod

u know that squish squish sound when u compress ur forks

[mike]

yeah i know the squish squish sound
check your oil height. thats a good place to start.
check the oils clean, and nothing is plugging up the cartirdges.

chances are it needs a bit of maintenance and nothing is blown up

you must be too smooth for that fork :lol:

[Tim D]

could there have just been a piece of seal or some crap off the fork builders worktop that got in the oil and blocked the damping rods hole?

take the fork apart for gawds sake :)

[Dan]

i think take your fork apart and check it out. could be scary when its a brand new fork, even tho their hella easy to work on (from wot other ppl say). im still too scared to take my sliders apart.

if he lost oil he woulda noticed it, i dont think thats ur problem. take it to ur LBS even??
