RockShox Sektor Silver RL Solo Air - Oil Levels

DavidB_27

Hi everyone

I'm servicing my RockShox Sektor Silver RL Solo Air for the first time, it's on a 2015 Giant Trance 3.

On the RockShox website only the Sektor Gold RL is listed or the Sektor Silver TK - are the oil levels of the TK ok to use on a Silver RL?

Also it lists 150ml of 5wt for the upper tube, is that correct - nowhere near that much came out!

Many thanks

Middle of page two, all Sektor the same and none is 150......

Thanks but 2014-2015 say 150ml, unless the RL has been unchanged sine 2012?:

If you look at the current oil chart:

It lists the oil *level* as well as the volume.

There's no difference in oil volume between the RL and the TK models of the same fork, and also, they all have the same 80-85mm oil level, which is a much better way of getting things right (IMHO).

You will need to pump the damper piston up and down to get all the oil out - and just to be sure, this will be in the drive-side upper *only*.

You will also need to (carefully!) cycle the damper when you re-fill it to get the oil in and the bubbles out before checking the level.
