Issue with RVF fork top adjusters

Well, now that the RVF forks have been re-oiled and fitted to the bike, I went about looking to have them both adjusted the same and encountered a problem. The brass adjuster on the left stick only has 3 clicks where-as the one on the right has 6. Obviously this isn't normal, so where would the problem lie? The right fork is the one I had completely stripped and cleaned to check the internals, but the left one only had the oil drained and then fresh stuff put in. Anyone any pointers or ideas as to why there is so little adjustment on the left side than there is on the right? Thanks.

Could just be that the clicks are audible on the cleaner fork top?

Do they rotate the same amount per click?
