KTM Fork Troubles

  1. #1

    KTM Fork Troubles

    I had the wheel off my KTM LC4 640 SM, and I noticed when compressing the left side fork, it sounded different than the right side fork. I took them both off the bike and the right side for definitely has a distinct rattle to it. Its overall length is longer when decompressed, and it seems like it springs back much faster than the left side fork as in it's underdamped.

    I have no idea why it's doing this. Could it be low on fork oil, or could it be missing a spacer, or something along those lines?

    I would service it. Disassemble, clean, inspect, re-assemble to the book with fresh oil.

    Any chance one fork is compression and one is rebound?

    I don't think so. They both have rebound and compression adjustments on each fork.
