Hey y'all. I put my bike up on my lift to do some maintenance, and then I set it back down. Now when I sit on the bike and put my weight on the fork the fork sags about an inch before it gives any real resistance. Any reason for this to happen, and should I be concerned?
Thanks.

That's standard. It's just sending fluid back through the forks that had settled while it was off the ground.
