Hi , looking for some advice , I'm going to do a lower leg service on my voodoo bantu which has suntour xcm front forks and was just looking for any pointers ie which oil to use,where can i get foam rings if i need them,anything really,maybe a link to a good tutorial video.
This is the first time i'll be attempting anything like this so want to avoid stupid mistakes . I have seen a few videos on servicing forks but nothing great for the ones I have.
Any help will be appreciated

Do the XCM use oil, I thought they were greased.
Foam rings....nope.
Great manual, page 13

I thought they were coil spring and used grease, the ones on my old trek did that was back in 2013 though.0

Nice one , i'll take them apart,didn't wanna risk it in case i lost all the oil but looks like that won't be a problem0

I thought xcm were cheapest of the cheap so would have grease and elastomer stacks.!!???
I'd say don't waste time and much money but put it towards better quality forks0 -
No elastomer, no coil and grease, worth the use of fresh grease to keep the, going.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
