I have a GP Suspension 25mm kit in my forks. The right fork leg is for rebound and the left is for compression. I am skilled enough to refresh the oil and change out some springs, but I'm having difficulty with the rebound leg.
I swapped the oil in the compression leg and installed a new spring. Everything went as planned and it's back on the bike. The rebound leg was disassembled and I installed new oil. The problem I am having is when I pump the cartridge rod up and down, I am not getting any resistance up or down. It's as if the oil is not getting inside the cartridge.
This is my first time dealing with separate functions from one fork to the other, so I'm not sure if this is normal.. Unfortunately, I did not check the functionality of the damper prior to emptying the old fluid.
Am I missing something? Is the rebound leg not supposed to have resistance? I'm just not sure if I have a bad cartridge.
