This is basically the only thing I go to the bike shop for. Things like brake bleeding and derailleur adjustments I can handle myself, but this one.. damn. Still quite informative though. 😆
Watching this video actually lowered my blood pressure, very relaxing n therapeutic.
A very thorough tutorial, and just goes to show how important front fork servicing really is. Thanks for sharing.

I serviced my 2006 Tora SL following this tutorial. Very helpful. Thank you!
Man, you're awesome! what a nice turtorial, you took away my fear. Let's do it!
this guy makes amazing videos. Seriously, I watch a ton of tutorial style videos. This is the best of them.
This flick is totally hypnotizing.
As soon as minutes 7:01, I changed my mind for DIY. Great video! Thanks
Even after ten years, this clip proves helpful - in my case not only for it being the tutorial I just needed but on top of it for helping identifying some parts in my Tora SL from visible part numbers in your video - as SRAM tends to be a bit cryptic on what parts actually fit my SL solo air fork. Thank you profoundly! :)

4:31 Dust seals must be replaced every 50 hours. If you dont do it, you are risking the failure of the dust seal where the spring seats. That will result in a direct contact between spring and upper leg. If this happens when you are riding, then you are going to have an upper leg scratched by the spring since the leg will be moving up and down against the spring. Dust seals are not to be inspected just by looking.... You cannot see their internal material fatigue. You got to remove it every 50hrs in order to avoid this particular damage of the plastic spring seat being bended / taken away / broken by the spring .... The 50hrs kit is there not to avoid it. It is there to buy it for some reasons. Good luck!
Great video thanks, watched this to strip my 2010 Revelation Race. Some differences on the internals but not massively. Ready to have new seals fitted and be re-assembled tomorrow, hoping that will sort out my leaking negative chamber!

@@cannondany Turned out nothing was wrong with any seals, the foam on the positive air piston had completely dried out and that seemed to be causing the leak. Re-oiled and regreased and it's all running smoothly again :)
fantastic video. onto my first service now ;-) man you rock!!!
Excellent, seeing it being done helps clarify some of the diagram manual instructions.
Chill background music 😎
This suspension is so satisfying
Very good clear neumatik and cleaning and lubricating
love the adjustable spanner
the music put my to sleep i woke up it was over
And da beat was mean while he did it!! 😎👍🤝🤘
Very good detail, many thanks.
OK that was insane. I've never taken shocks apart, I thought it was as easy as adding oil to the top. Lol
It is a very hard work cleaning a very clean fork ha!!
really nice video, keep up the good work! i had to giggle a little bit when seeing the scratched damper cap (?) after removing the clamp :D
Very nice work dude!

Good job and it's alwas surprising how smooth even these cheaper forks like the Tora, XC32 and Recon are after a complete service. The solo Air spring hasn't changed remarkably since then, nowadays they just come with grease. I always use both grease snd some drops of oil for the air chamber.
This is the sexiest service video ever! Good stuff, thks for posting.
Outstanding. Thank you.
Yikes! I used to take Sony Walkmans & turntables apart, repair them and put them back together. This is pretty much the same. Not going back to that!. But kudos to the tech who is demonstrating this. More than "good job" -- WOW! I recommend anyone attempting to do this to video yourself so you can get all the parts back in the correct order.

Much easier than you'd think. Take your time. Makes for a smoooth operating fork! big difference if oil is old. There aren't parts that are easily put in backwards, dropped, springs that jump out and that kind of thing. Easy out, easy in. I've done a few (RS Blackbox, Foxes, all easy enough, even if you are, like me, not mechanically inclined). Revise that "tap gently with mallet," to "beat the snot out of that bolt," as that is sometimes the case, it slowly works loose after many medium taps.

Great video, I've been servicing MTB shocks for ages even before the days of KZread. From Rockshox Judy DH, to Rockshox Jett, Dart, etc. Manitou as well . For the Rockshox Judy they have a special slider lube called Judy butter. Pretty much the same lubes as shown in the video. Rockshox recommends staying away from lithium based lubricants.

@@AngelRodriguez-kg9bz It is depending what style. Some of them have gas struts which others don't. Some gas strut Assemblies are rebuildable while others are sealed and require replacement. However if your down tubes are pitted slightly or missing chrome, or the coating, it's better to replace the whole fork. Some rebuildable gas forks require nitrogen instead of air.

@@Ecksterphono thanks... I think mine are just spring loaded... No gas so I think it's just disassembling them and seeing if something is broken
Excellant video. Perfect for my manitou mars elite.
Hello! Thank you!
Ah, I see I didn't know what cleaning meant. Silly me.
100% efectivo!!!!
Oh thank you so much. I am going to do this to my forks in a couple of weeks and I did not find any good videos on KZread and this helped so much!! It would be better is you spoke in it.
Thanks for give me this idea
do not use oil for air springs, use calcium grease instread do not remove rebound rod if all okay, because you can damage seal o-ring and oil from damper will leaks to the lowers while riding
BUENOSIMO ME ENCANTO A ESO HAY QUE CUIDARLO COMO ORO VES UN EJEMPLO

In the fork suspension in schwinn bikes I use baby oil 20ml each side. Work perfectly.

Very informative, clear and w/o unnecessary fluff; nice music too. I'm wondering: is the shock pressure specific per shock/model or is there a general pressure range the shocks should be pumped to? Dziekuje kolego.
