2009 EC300 Fork issue

[nmarklowitz]

Finally got my bike back together after having the fork seals redone at a fairly local shop that specializes in suspension. Also complete top and lower end rebuild. Got on the bike and started compressing the forks to make sure everything was good. Seemed fine at first until I went to move it and had to pull up on the bars and all the pressure was off of the forks. They make a weird tinging sound. Almost sounds like a spring is bouncing off of the inside of the fork of binding. Has anyone had any issues with this?

I have heard my forks rattle off the tubes when i had them off the bike, but not while riding if that is what you mean?

I've heard the springs hit the tubes when you shake them while off the bike. This is different. I'll see if I can get a video soon and post it.
