The right-hand leg on my TALAS RLC forks is leaking oil - is this something that is home-servicable?

If so, any pointers to online step-by-step guides etc? Any advice, pointers? Do I need any specialist equipment?

Thanks you in advance!

yes home servicable, just don't remove the Talas system from the upper leg. Seals and oil in stock ๐Ÿ˜‰

Thanks Loco, just watched a vid on YouTube and he only put oil in the left hand leg - why is mine leaking on the right hand leg? Should there be oil in there?

(PS, how competetive would that stock be) ;o)

Whatever you do dont overtighten the nuts on the bottom of the legs, especially the Talas side as they are expensive to replace.

Only an absolute idiot would do that !! ๐Ÿ˜ณ

both legs have oil in them, although not a lot in the Talas, hence they wear the stantions and seals quicker on that side.
As for parts mail me in profile for costs as website's still not 'live' yet.
