I've just rebuilt the forks on my 78 with new seals and they seem pretty soft and I'm getting some strange noise.
I have the adjustable preload set all the way down on my fork caps and when I bounce the front of the bike (sit on it and push all my weight on the handlebars) it drops easily and I can hear a squealching sound. It sounds like the oil and air being forced around in the forks but I don't why why I am hearing this.
I added the amount of fork oil specified in my manual and it's the correct viscosity. Any ideas what I may have done wrong?
