I can't get the forks to open and shut at the same time. It is like they are straining. I put a new seal kit on the right side cylinder and that did not solve problem. I checked the spool on the valve and that seems to be fine. I swapped the top solonoid but not the bottom. There is a valve mounted in between the mast. Could that be the problem? I really need some ideas, I am stumped.
Thanks,
Scott

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
