Hey there,

Got my front forks back with new seals and fluid and threw them on the bike. Now the front end seems super stiff and jack hammery. Is there a way to correct this with the suspension adjustments and if so what do I adjust and where is it on this bike? Thanks.

Sounds like something is wrong Metz, first click the adjusters to the middle settings and bounce on the front again - if it still feels like the forks aren't reacting properly there's a fault (if stiff springs weren't fitted).
Could be too much fork oil added -or physical obstruction (eg slider bushes fouling the outer).
I'm a bit concerned with the 'jack hammer' description, sounds like an obstruction stopping proper movement. I fitted spacers that caused an obstruction once, they were too wide and fouled on other parts of the fork . .
Keep us posted Bud.
