    Let the warranty fix it.should be nice and smooth operation.Change the springs and the warranty goes out the door.Better off changing the fork oil to a thicker weight after they have fixed the fault.

    found the problem and it wasn't the forks when sitting on the bike (not running) and pulling the front up and down i found the notching was actually the front disc which is a floater but very tight so when pulling it up and down with the front brake on', the disc  was moving and giving me the impression that the forks were notchy! alls well now and i saved myself the embarrasment of taking it back to the dealer, you beauty!

     

    cheers,
