NOTE: Make sure you change or clean your filter after each moto. We recommend
carrying multiple filters in your toolbox, one for each practice session and moto.
Fork Maintenance
Cobra strongly recommends that a professional service technician conduct all internal
maintenance other than changing springs and oil. This will help to ensure safe and
consistent operation.
For routine maintenance, the chart below provides suggested service intervals for
common procedures:
Each Ride 10 hours 20 hours As Needed
Bleed excess air X
Change Oil X
Change
Seal/Swiper
X
Change Bushings X
Fork Air Bleeding
Tools required

3mm hex key (Allen wrench)
During normal operation, both fork legs will build up air pressure. This pressure acts as
an additional spring so it must be bled on a regular basis to maintain consistent
suspension operation. Before each ride, loosen the socket head cap screw located at
the front of each fork cap far enough so that any excess pressure in the leg is relieved.
After excess air is bled off, retighten the screw to 5 in-lb. Be careful not to lose or
damage the sealing ring that is located under the head of each bleed screw.
