Problem with Rock Shox SID RL Help!!!

OK chaps I posted a while ago about my forks not locking out and making a squeeking noise when I push down with the poploc on, I fiddled with the pressures bit it made no difference. Now they are not returning to 100mm, they sit between 75-80mm. This first started after I cleaned my bike and there could be a possibility that some degreaser got on the stantion but I am not certain. I have searched everywhere for somewhere to take the bike to get them serviced but am struggling to find someone near Notts or Derby and Decathlons fork and brake service excludes air forks and hydraulic brakes. I just wondered if it is easy to service and clean these myself and the items I would need to buy(please bare in mind that I am quite usless at anything manual) of if any of you would like to offer your services for a price or know of anywhere near me you could recommend. Cheers Simon

Though it does sound like they need a service is the lockout is failing too.

Oh and adding negative air will suck the fork in to its travel. As said above. You can remove air from the neg chamber to regain your full travel but you will encourage a sharper top out when the fork extends after a hit. I have a dual air Reba.

Are there any other items/tools i will need. Also can you point me in the direction of an idiot proof guide for the SID's. I suppose its best to learn sometime. Thanks for all of the advice already offered. Cheers Simon

or Deflate bottom (-) first then top (+)
Put them both at the same pressure (look at guide on the back of the fork) then ride and adjust as needed
I thought that was the case from the way your question was worded. It's taken me a couple of rides of fiddling to get the right + and - balance on my Rebas, but now I have they are superb. I think I've got about 5psi less in the -ve now, but just keep experimenting with them until you get happy.

Some SIDs have a floodgate adjuster in the middle of the lockout dial.
I'd download the manual.
