Its normal for one leg to be longer than the other and the damper rod on that side to reach its limit first. If you remove the front wheel and mudguard , put the axle in from the left (as normal )it should slide easily right in place with finger pressure . But of course it wont ! , To see the extent of the issue rotate the right slider 90 degrees and the left slider 20 degrees and the axle will then run past the right slider hole and you will see the difference , Playing with the locknut at the top of the damper rods and the depth of rod engagement in the top nut will sort it out . You will never need that hammer again and both legs will hit the stops together , or not at all if you sort out the damper holes as recommended . While playing its a good time to change the oil ! . Just done this to my 650SS Proddy Racer . Need to get on with this because at 78 i have only another 10 years or so road racing before i will have take it easy .

[QUOTE="norton bob, post: 649841, member: 5551"] Its normal for one leg to be longer than the other and the damper rod on that side to reach its limit first. If you remove the front wheel and mudguard , put the axle in from the left (as normal )it should slide easily right in place with finger pressure . But of course it wont ! , To see the extent of the issue rotate the right slider 90 degrees and the left slider 20 degrees and the axle will then run past the right slider hole and you will see the difference , Playing with the locknut at the top of the damper rods and the depth of rod engagement in the top nut will sort it out . You will never need that hammer again and both legs will hit the stops together , or not at all if you sort out the damper holes as recommended . While playing its a good time to change the oil ! .
