The deal with the initial service is this: If it rides fine and you don't have any problems, then don't bother. But if you are the type of person who is oblivious to things and do not notice that your front end is about to fall apart, then bring it in.

It don't surprise me none that a dealer doesn't have a clue...
I mean any idiot with any kind of working knowledge of a suspension would know that a suspension that compresses and has no rebound just ain't right...
I would say its binding at one of the pivot points... as suggested... I would loosen and then retorque...
It is a shame though that you have to do that $hit yourself...
I guess it just gives some credence to what I've been thinking the last few years... We're going back to the old AMF days... where it was all about production and no service...
Probably only going to get worse... no good ole harley boys to buy it back this time...
