Why did you take the fork off?

O seu Inglês é um pouco confuso. Talvez você deve fazer sua pergunta novamente em português e então nós podemos executá-lo através de um tradutor automático para ver se sua pergunta é fácil de entender.

Its English is a little confused. Perhaps you must make its question in Portuguese again and then we can execute it through an automatic translator to see if its question is easy to understand.

Did you put in too much fork oil? If it is overfilled the oil will not compress like air and prevent the fork from compressing. Max

It is necessary to press very hard on the tube cap nut when starting to thread it into the tube. Sometimes the handlebars are in the way and need to be removed so that you can get a socket on the nut and apply weight and pressure.

Good evening, excuse the absence, what happened was I had removed the top fork caps, without touching the rest of the suspension, the next time I put the caps, the suspension is hard, I do not know if it will be a sheath has more air pressure than another, whether to adjust all the screws on the suspension, I do not know, thanks

It sounds like the fork tubes collapsed to a compressed position while the top cap was off.  Make sure the fork tubes are extended to their maximum length and try again.

no oil left, I put the tubes in several positions, and always stuck after putting the caps, is that which separates the spring and the spacer has to be in a specific position? It's weird ... since they just took the covers and put back, thank you

Done Smiley the problem was in the bottom bracket, after completing the assembly of the suspension, we must relieve the screws to level the bottom bracket, simple things that affect things Smiley big thanks to everyone who tried to help
