I have the same +1 five-O forks and nylon bushings. Does yours make squeaky noises when the forks are compressing? Mine squeaks like crazy! Sounds like my dog's toy is stuck inside!

if they are squeaking you need to grease them more!

squeeking is perfectly normal. its the little grooves on the bushings and the forklegs. it will eventually stop making the noise and remain slop free. sano sells a kit with the forklegs and bushings too.
