Hello!
Sorry to blurt this out on here, as normally I would research, but I have been let down by a supplier, and need another kit asap (by sat if possible!) (And work needs doing!)
Anyway does anyone know where I would by a Tora SL service kit? (its off a 2009 Specialized FSR XC) (RockShox Tora 302 SL, 120mm travel) I think! I've had a quick look and there seems to be a generic "Rock Shox Air Service Kit Tora/Recon Silver TurnKey/MoCo/SoloAir " kit... is this the right one?
And where should I buy one to ensure swift delivery!
Cheers Guys!
looks like the right one. Not sure how many miles / hours yours have done , or where and how you ride. But, serviced my 2008 Tora solo air earlier this year. There were no signs of anything leaking, so basically disassembled and rebuilt just renewing oil, which I bough from chain reaction and for about £14 the pair for 5 and 15 weight, I have enough to do them again. Just carefully cleaning and relubing, I replace no parts at all and it's working just fine. Whilst I was in them, removed the spacers too and upped them to 130mm from 100, just altering the oil volume required to suit.
I'm sure someone will tell us otherwise, but if you've got to them soon enough a good clean and relube, in my view, is all they may need.
I have to say that mine may just be showing signs that the bushings on the braked leg may have the tiniest amount of play now, possibly hastened by increasing the travel, but nowt to do with servicing, so they will get replaced with rebas or revs sometime soon.
Toras; a half decent, hard working fork, just built with the heaviest materials they could find. Swapping them out could easily lose 2lb of bike weight !
OH ! Edit; Simply followed the Sram manual pdf online and all went to plan.
I don't suppose either of you have a link to how to service this fork yourself?
I was about to leave mine in to be done "professionally" but have noticed its going to be ~£80 and the fork is only worth £130 new, so doing it myself would be great.

as you look further you should be able to find most of the "archived" pdf's for earlier forks.
That kit looks like the right one, but it only contains the internal o-rings, you might want to also get a seal kit as well -
