Notchy 2009 Street Triple 675 Forks?

Hello everyone and Merry Xmas!
Had the front wheel off my 2009 street triple today to inspect wheel bearings, discs etc prior to an MOT for the New Year. Now the bike is back fully assembled there is a notchy feel to the front forks during compression? Even using a two pronged paddock stand the task of lifting the front end is precarious so I'm unsure if something may have twisted or out of line during assembly (though nothing to the naked eye). If anyone else has experienced this I'd really appreciate help in putting things right.
I assume notchy forks would also be an MOT failure.........................
All the best!

 

Hi.
Not sure as it was fine prior to me fettling?

 

It's strange as it seemed fine prior to the work being carried out. Head race and steering wasn't touched.

 

Many thanks for the reply!
No centre stand on the 675 which makes things awkward. The front fork legs are slightly different lengths which also makes using a front paddock stand precarious. I may get the Mrs to steady the bike on the stand whilst I slacken the pinch bolts, spin the front wheel and apply the front brake several times. This trick apparently realigns things to a degree. Just annoying that I can't safely get the front end off the ground and steady so I can carry out proper inspection. Ho....hum.

 

Thanks for your time and input as it's much appreciated!
All the best

 

It rides great just unsure it'll pass an MOT?
Cheers!!

 

Cheers chap!
Worth a try.........
