Stripped my RS Revelation world cup down today to give it a checkover and service and have the RS Rev service manual to hand.

When i removed the air spring the top air spring is slightly different to that in the SRAM manual and has a foam washer on it as well (i presume this is to help lube the o-ring from the rear side and reduce stiction?). Should i treat this foam washer as i will the ones below the main wiper seals?

Also the + chamber and the negative had very little oil in, i assume they should be filled as per the chambers on any other dual air revelation?

    seems normal for a 2011 fork

    Reba and Revelation only: Use a pick to remove
    the foam ring from the air piston. Install the new
    foam ring onto the piston, then saturate it with
    RockShox suspension oil.

    Cheers Nick, must look harder in future! I could only find the 2006-2008 manuals so will print and bookmark that one now.
