I am doing a much overdue oil change for my front suspension forks. I read over the instructions thoroughly before starting the job. As I was disassembling the first fork I noticed after pulling the spring out that the it seemed to have been put in upside down. The tight winding of the spring were at the bottom, this is contrary to what the service manual says it should be. On disassembling the second fork I found that it to was the opposite of what the manual says.
Here is what the service manual shows: (Pg. 4-53)
So how should I insert the fork springs? As it has been for since I purchased the bike (new '06), or as the manual says it should be? Has anyone else found this with their own forks?
