Oil has started leaking from the fork
This can happen if the bike is stored for too long without being ridden. When
the suspension is static for too long, the gasket in-between the moving pipes
can dry out. If this happens, wipe the oil off, test the suspension to see if it
works normally and see if the leaking disappears. If it doesn’t, get in contact
with CAKE directly.
Theres play between the front suspension and the frame
This is due to the that the headset is not tightened properly/has become loose.
Put the bike on a stand. Start with unscrewing the 4 screws on the upper
triple clamp so they become loose (don’t unscrew completely). Push the
lower triple clamp upwards so the head tube gets full contact with the frame.
Loosen the headset bolt just a bit before tightening it hard. Tighten the screws
on the upper triple clamp and test the suspension to see if the play is still
there. Repeat if necessary. Get in contact with CAKE if the issue doesn’t
resolve after the actions above.
