Boxxer problem

[AgentOrange]

A friend asked me to post this:

Hi,
I bought a used boxxer 151 for my freeride HT. The fork works very nice, but the low speed compression adjuster turns forever in both directions and it doesn't make any difference. I disassembled the fork and the compression assembly and when I turn the adjuster it rotates the rod but it doesn't preload the small diameter spring below the high speed compression valve...

What could be wrong? Help... please... :/

The spring you are speaking of is seperate from the low speed. It is a high speed blow off adjuster. With enough pressure, a valve opens, allowing oil to bypass the damper, preventing damage. I think the high speed requires an 8mm socket to adjust. Been a while since I owned one. Not sure what could be causing your problem.

I can't see the thread at all...
The red line inicates how deep goes the spring.
