Indeed, but it still hurts  :grin:

I have new springs and shocks coming as I had a few too many whisky's infront of the computer, so hopefully that will help too 👍

I don't believe a lack of oil can or would cause a clunk unless you were bottoming the forks out.

I don't recall the air gap changing either, the volume of oil did but not the air gap. I can't recall if new or old forks need more oil though, but the difference isn't huge either way. I do always fill to the air gap as it's easier & more accurate.

Still at least you're fixed.

Yer, I believe I was bottoming out as when I took it out round the house it would clunk hard at a hard brake at 5mph. Never had a bike do that before so it was a new sensation.

Yep, I know nothing about the air gap and oil but as you say, I'm happy as Larry that it's working again. Need to re check my fork stroke length again and see if they are even now.
