[. . . ] Moisture and contamination may build up inside the fork. We suggest you disassemble your fork, inspect, clean and re-grease them after 30 hours of use. If the fork appears to be relatively clean, you can probably go 40 hours between servicing. If the fork appears dirty, you should service them every 20 hours. The three things that will most effect the service interval and performance of your fork is water, mud and dust. How much time you use your fork in those conditions will determine how much service it requires. NOTE: When cleaning the fork, it is not recommended to direct water spray at the seals. NOTE: Neglecting proper fork maintenance will reduce the fork life. Internal build up of water and dirt, or a lack of lubrication will cause excessive wear to the fork. In harsh conditions it is advisable to inspect the fork for dirt ingestion after each ride. Basic service should include disassembly of the fork, cleaning and regreasing all shafts and seals. At this time, the fork should be carefully inspected for wear and damage before reassembly.
