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.
