Quote from: Kalpsn2000 on February 04, 2013, 12:14:21 pmI didn't put grease on mine either but didn't think that would make much difference. My bump stops did stop turning in both directions with the allen key. Currently mine are at the lowest setting. I think I will bring them out 1-2 clicks to see if that helps.hmmm thinking i might have dodgy bumps, do you know if the part number is the same as mine which is posted in the opening comment ?thanks

Hey guys and girls, I just greased both ends and both sides of the dampers and pins; it works everytime now (on the flat), much, much better!

Sounds good. But the real test will be once you have left it closed over night then try it the next day.
My bumps end in C rather than D, not sure if that would make a difference or not...

What is the part number for the stops, ?
