I Guys

I need help, just bought a R1 4xv and setting the front suspension up when the rebound screws just spin, no clicking or even seating just spinning.

Any ideas?

Thanks guys.

Welcome in Peter
Sorry mate they sound fucked to me but then again I'm on my second set of forks now & never touched them so I guess we'd better wait for someone that knows what the f**k they're on about to turn up . . . . . . . . . . . It maybe a long wait

Yer welcome in

Bit more about yourself, biking history and photos usually work well on here

As for the adjuster, I would suggest its snapped

Sorry guys

I been riding for about 2 years own:

R1 2000
Hayabusa full power
GSXR 1100 slabside all original 6k on clock
Xr650r supermoto

This R1 is new to me, just fitted Ohlins damper and went to set up forks to find the rebound screw spins.

Thanks

Now you really need to load some photos of all your bikes.

If you are not sure how to then have a look at the below thread

wanny you forgot to highlight your photobucket link so that it's in blue ( the same as highlighting it to copy it to clipboard ) & while it's blue click on the "IMG" tab ^^^
you also have to do it one pic at a time
upload your pic to photobucket , when you click on the pic to the right of the pic it will say "share links"

put your cursor over "direct" where the http web address is & left click this will save the link to your clip board & you will end up with "http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x193/jompy15/R1.jpg" when you right click & click on paste , hold your cursor at one end of this address left click & old the button down dragging the mouse over the address turning it blue , take your finger off the mouse button & then click the "IMG" tab just above &and it will put the [ img ] [ /img ] either side of the address for you [ img ]http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x193/jompy15/R1.jpg[ /img ]
when you post you will see

Could be as simple as someone reassembing the forks and not refitting the rebound rods???

Welcome in Peter

Hello and welcome. The only thing I know about forks is that they normally come with knives!

Colin

Welcome in Peter, your pics seem to have disappeared, but saying that I'm not the most it literate person on this site. I hope you have a good sense of humour as you will need one what with all the banter on here.
