Just did a front shock install and ????

[Bransharksfan]

So I just installed some front shocks on my 200x (1983) BUT it seems like its harder to turn now????

Is it because I was used to the shot shocks and now that I have some that hold air it feels different??

Your thoughts???

Suggestions!!

Bleed the Air Out, Do NOT run air in your Front Forks !

Harder to turn, as in steering stem bearings?

If you didn't mess with them, more than likely one fork leg or both are bent. When you tighten the 8 pinch bolts, it strains the trees and cause the bearing to bind sometimes.

Jack the front tire off the ground and see how smooth it is. If you loosen the pinch bolts and it turns easier, there's your answer.....
