    First ride on my bike. And
    front forks will not compress more than an inch maybe two
    Went for a ride and it felt a bit stiff - but seemed ok
    got to the end of the ride and noticed there was no movement at front hardly at all
    Any ideas what it could be?

    Phew! I think I've found the issue
    I took the front wheel off and the forks seems to move ok
    With the wheel on there is around three inches travel when I push down
    When I tighten the wheel bolt on right side only the forks lock up
    I think it's has something to do with the brake guard spacer - looks wider than my other bikes spacer

    Its not your normal alignment issue - I havent tightened up the other fork side
    the forks will not compress -
    the alignment issue must be the spacer pushing out fork I guess
    It looks fine -
    I believe the Motorsportz guard and spacer came off a 450 - maybe thats the issue - different spacers

    Check the width of the Motosportz spacer against the stock spacer I had to get mine turned down to the stock spacer width. Not Motosportz fault as I had got my disk guard for free.

    Husqvarna has only used 2 front wheel spacers over the last 12 years. I would compare the one on the rotor guard to the one you removed. The bikes with the 45mm forks used a narrower spacer than the bikes with 50mm forks.

    Thanks Mike - The previous owner put the guard on - it was off a TE 450 2008 - so I would have thought they were both 50mm forks.
    He is looking for the spacer but I dont think I will have much luck .

    My 08 125 has a smaller spacer than what the guard spacer is.

    I think it must be the right size

    Ive tightened right fork pinch bolts prior to snugging up the axle bolt and thats fixed the issue
