Post Care for your forks

1. always check your seals for leaking or any other damage

2.after riding or befor you go riding always drain the compressed air in your forks

step 1. get a flat head screw driver and undo the small golden screws at the top of your forks (small screw in a big bolt) and undo them and compleatly take them out when screwing them out you will hear a small hissing sound from the hole were you took the bolt out this is the air coming out this will improve you fork rebound and becouse no air is souppose to be in your forks.

3.always keep your drain screws tightend so you dont loose any fork oil

4.make sure they are at the correct dampness setting eg. not to soft not to hard if to hard your handaling will be poor if to soft this will sag your frame and will eventualy wreck your frame
