CB550K3 - Fork Springs - Which way up?

(1/4) > >>

hunterso:
Just changing the oil in my forks and noticed the springs were fitted with the tightly wound coils uppermost.

Is this correct?

I'm sure i read somewhere on here that the tightly wound coils of the spring should be inserted downwards into the fork leg

Can anyone confirm the correct way to install

Thanks

UK Pete:
I am sure its downwards, i doubt if you would notice the difference though

Green1:
I'm sure the tighter coils go at the bottom I put them the wrong way up in my pegaso and it would bounce violently on bumpy stretches

hunterso:
Thought so - tight coils downwards it is.

Thanks chaps

Lobo:
