So you removed the rebound piston from the damper rod? When you tightened it back down, how were you holding the damper rod to keep it from spinning?
With a 1/2” shaft clamp

In that case, I would pull the the piston back off, check clearance and positioning on everything, and reassemble it. Most likely the needle is simply out of position, or it's bottom on something which was out of position.
I read on another forum someone experiencing a similar issue and the culprit was that it got stuck in the open position. Stuck a T handle allen wrench in the adjuster, wiggled it a bit and it worked.
Should be fine now, all adjusters work fine, both rebound and compresion. Only thing is that it’s quite noisy! There’s a bit of a squelch going on when I compress it. Maybe only in the first push. Oil level is set to 100mm using the oil level gauge.
If you close both lsc and msc, does your fork lock out? I believe mine used to do it, but after the service it doesn’t do it anymore, so I’m a bit concerned now…

Gets real firm, nut not true lockout
Is your rebound damper rod fully extended? i set it by oil height, then put in the damper unit and do the bleed. Or do you have the gen 1 emulsion-style without the foam?

I’m considering the Fast Yariup conversion. Being a cheap bastard, I’m wondering if the $300 is worth it, especially since S4, the only way to buy it new in the USA, marks it up nearly 100% from what Fast charges on their site. Gotta love exclusive distribution deals that allow for price gouging.
Looks to be sold out anyway

Yeah, I noticed that. Fast has them in stock but won’t ship to me.

If you're in the US you should strongly consider the Avalanche damper. It works great and is open bath so there's virtually no maintenance.

Yikes! It’s $550. At that price, I’d probably add a few hundred bucks and buy a new fork altogether.

I don't know. The avy would probably be a bigger upgrade. I keep watching to see when they do a damper for the new lyriks.

You could buy a new fork, but its damper still won't be anywhere close to as good as the Avalanche damper. You'd have a better fork by letting what you have and dropping an Avy damper in it.

I don’t doubt it but given my complaint about the $300 for the Fast Yariup, it’s highly unlikely I’ll be spending $550 for the Avalanche. Good to know it exists, though so I appreciate the info.
Have you considered the Novyparts Splug?
Do you like the Yari’s rebound? I’m struggling to find an overall setting that’s good in most situations.
I like rebound on the fast side, if I run it relatively open, it’s okay when not going too fast or charging too much. But when I charge or go faster it gets very easily overwhelmed and it’s so annoying. If I close it, having in mind how it will react when going at full speed, then it’s pretty good but only when going full speed, it sucks and it’s slow (and sort of painful) everywhere else.
Do you guys have similar problems with it? I come from a grip2, that even with a really fast lsr and hsr, it always feels super composed and stable regardless of whether I’m charging or not.

The Yari rebound damper is pretty darn straight forward. It's just a piston with a needle low speed bleed, and some shims for the high speed rebound. If you get the low speed feeling good, but the high speed isn't working for you, just throw some more (or remove some) shims from there.
