Norge front forks
« on: September 29, 2022, 06:53:03 AM »
Hello, could someone clarify a doubt, in the front suspension of Norge there is a black tube that has a metallic washer, it is leaning against the spring, but with the part that has the metallic washer, or the spring enters the tube and the metallic part stay down.
Thanks

Are you talking about the washer in between the tube & spring ?
Yes, this is so the spring does not scrape into the tube. That would create shavings in oil.

I was in doubt because when dismantling the suspensions I found the spring inside the black tube and the part that has the metal washer down.
The manual does not clarify the correct position of the tube, I also thought that the spring should touch the part of the metal washer.
Thank you for your help.

This suggests that the black tube is lower down and the cap winds against the spring.




But I must admit, even after having changed the fluid 9 times, my memory doesn’t recall where the washer sits.

The spring should not be in the tube, this is what the washer is for even though it's not in any diagram.
