Your suspension fork requires specific, precise maintenance that may vary depending on the fork. It is
imperative that you read the manufacturer's notice that is delivered with your bike. Due to the impact and
the shocks that suspension forks absorb, it is important to clean the stanchions and inspect the joints after
each use. Please refer to the manufacturer's notice for information regarding how often you should change
or add oil. Only a specialist who has the proper tools should perform these operations.
