I'm not sure which is normal. Here is what is going on.
I have a '08 level 3. (bought in 10) The front tire was replaced and at the same time centramatics where installed. Yes, I did all the work. Followed some of the advice here and the maintenance manual. Everything seemed fine until last night.
My friend bought an used 08 level 1 (only 2k miles on it) so it really is new. We were talking about the linked brakes and anti-dive. I was showing him something (can't remember, I've slept since then) and as I held the front brake and bounce the bike it was different than mine.
When I bounce mine I get about 2-3 bounces then it stops, it feels like the AD has activated and locked up the fork. On his, this doesn't happen, it continues to bounce. I checked to see if his AD was deactivated but with the back brake applied the front does not bounce, therefore it isn't deactivated, nor is mine.
I've check my wheel/fork alignment again to be sure I didn't screw that up it's all good. I don't know if my bike did this before I replaced the front wheel or not.
So, which is normal? I'm leaning towards his. Where should I start looking? I'm thinking back and reinstalled the front tire.
TIA
