Bottomed out front suspension help?

Gearheaded said:

Typically I agree, but it’s actually better to line the axle centerline with the bottom of the bottom fork leg. You want to match the center line of the axle between both fork legs. Using the top will get you close, using the bottom will get you perfect.

OP. Pics would help, 👍🏻

Doing the alignment is easy I got that and yes im fairly certian it just twistedin the tripples, it's suspension I don't know. They're the stock kyb that came on the thing. I'm concerned about damage to the internals. I'd get a rebuild kit and do it my self but I don't know what I'm looking for damage wise. Anything micro fracture wise to look for? The lower triple is pretty stout I doubt anything happened to it but then again it is aluminum. Anything to look out for there? Building a tiny gallows to hang the front end from to get the triples off and then I'm going to replace the ball bearings with tapered rollers. Anything else I should consider or am missing? Thanks for the help my guy.

Sweet thanks man. Makes me feel better about the whole deal. Definitely gonna do the service. Will look more into the bearings. All the videos I see on servicing the triple tree bearings, everyone always changes to tapered. Just assumed they were the better option. Lol but I saw it on YouTube so it has to be true right lol. And yes modern suspension is amazing for as bad as the wheel is I didn't hardly feel it except where it bottomed out and that part was "hardly felt it" part. Also been watching alot of Dave moss stuff good resources. Thanks again for the time Jimmyboy. Keep that rubber side down my guy.

No s#!t right. Cast magnesium on the 2020+. But I feel like the wheel failed as designed and absorbed most of the impact. Definitely will let u guys know. Can't wait to get up again.
