Both 2008 & 2009 service manual states "When installing the fork spring verify that the tighter wound portion of the spring is installed down. I changed the fluid on my 2008 forks and did not find the spring to have a tighter wound portion. Both ends were symmetrical. Can anyone verify this? Did 2009 fork spring change to a progressive spring. 2009 XB12Ss fork spring has a progressive spring, which has a tigher wound portion at one end relative to the other end. |

They are symmetrical Also, the manual has the fork seals BACKWARDS, the side with the spring should face the oil it's retaining. |
