Scootering since 1968.
are you using the commonly available horrible Indian top races ? they crunch like mad, try and get an italian one, put an old one back in and feel the difference , the metal cages are too tall and catch the top cup.
dealers must have a bodge as there is nothing else available.
Otherwise bent fork column possibly
