Will I be able to check its getting full travel etc without any oil in the lowers?

Do I need to drop the lowers off, and have a look up the damper side stanchion then? Check everything’s square?

To set 40mm sag I’ve gotta run about 55psi, which means the forks dont fully return, and I’ve got to pull the stanchions out of the lowers for the last 10mm or so of travel.

Also still only getting around 50mm of travel when the forks are depressed, even with that low pressure. Confused.

I just release press out the +’ve till I get 40mm sag, right?

Looks like I’ll be getting the tie-wraps out then for a play!

Yeah I’ll probably pester Si again monday, I did have the lowers off/ do a complete service last weekend, which is when I found the lockout on the Mo-co was faulty.

Getting about 15/20mm sag, thinking I’m running too much air? They’re only solo-air’s, nowt posh!

I did spill some, but had the paint tray & some rag to hand.. all towards the cause of getting it back together and getting out riding, haha! 😀

Been on the local loop, which includes some square-edged hits, hops, drops & pumping. Got the tape measure out and the hightest dust – mark on the stanchion is about 55mm.. Should I be worried?

I weigh roughly 14st (200ish Lb) and the air in the fork is 115/120psi.. Which is as-per the sticker on the fork lower.

Thanks, Ben

Hoping not Simon as I’m sure I replaced it last week when I bought the seal/service kit off ya.

Will try get out for a blast later and see if I’m getting full travel etc, cheers guys!

Didnt measure (been pouring into a paint tray) got a little extra squirt and a few more drops out when I cycled it through travel though.

Tried cycling the fork empty of oil, reassembled and all seems ok.. Be kinda rude not to take it on a shakedown ride tomorrow and check 😆

Will report back, thanks for the advice!

So I turn the bike upside down, release the air, cycle the forks to get all the damper oil out, and refill?
