I used this guide. REad it through so it makes sense, and then go for it. It's a simple operation.

If you keep the lowers sideways and you're careful, you can do it without losing the oil - that said, it's worth drainign the oil and putting in fresh as it's not uncommon for new forks to come without much oil in them

Hi,

Are you sure that you can change the travel on these forks? I know you could do so by removing a spacer on previous models, but i think you need a "kit" to do it on more recent models. Which year and model you have?
