    Sr Suntour tend to have isolated dampers and (sometimes) you need a special tool to remove the spring from the top of the fork. In addition, there isn't much in the way of spare parts or service guides so there is no support for Sr Suntour riders really. If you want to give the fork a light service like I did, check the fork doesn't use semi or open bath damping system otherwise you'll have oil all over the place. Then unscrew and remove the fork legs and liberally give the fork a good layer of grease. By the way, I have only ever used coil forks. Yet to embrace the plush nature of air forks.

    P.S If I am wrong, please do correct me. I am here to learn just like everyone else.

    Hope this helps.
