NOTICE
Some of the fasteners in this fork are reverse threaded. To avoid damaging the
fork when removing or installing a fastener, carefully read the instructions and
follow directional arrows.
Only use SRAM® Butter grease or Liquid O-Ring® PM600 military grease when
servicing RS-1™ forks. No other grease is approved for use.
When replacing seals and o-rings, use your fingers or a pick to remove the seal or
o-ring. Spray isopropyl alcohol on each part and clean with a rag.
Apply grease to the new seal or o-ring.
Inspect each part for scratches. Do not scratch any sealing surfaces when
servicing your suspension. Scratches can cause leaks.
Remove the air spring access cover.
NOTICE
Do not pierce the air spring access cover.
Remove the air valve cap from the bottom cap. Depress the Schrader valve
and release all air pressure.
⚠
WARNING- EYE HAZARD
Verify all pressure is removed from the fork before proceeding. Depress
the valve again to remove any remaining air pressure. Failure to do so can
result in injury and/or damage to the fork.
Loosen the anchor bolt 3 to 4 turns.
NOTICE
Only loosen the anchor bolt, do not remove it from the air shaft. If the bolt is
removed from the air shaft it can fall into the carbon fiber upper.
