Suntour XCM Fork Service - Disassemble/Clean/Lube/Re-assemble

There are different versions of XCM forks. This is an SF11. If yours has a lockout, you have a different version. You might check out my video overhauling an XCR fork that has a lockout:

* Use grease made for forks. I use Slickoleum which is also sold under the name Slick Honey. You can also use SRAM Butter or Judy Butter. If the fork uses oil, use the proper fork oil. Use of a grease/oil not made specifically for forks can damage the plastic/polyurethane parts, or otherwise leave the fork not working properly.

This channel single-handedly keeps mechanic grease companies in business

One of the best bike servicing instructions a saw in a long time, especially the information about the sleeves being a "wear part" has a value of gold for me. Thanks a lot!
-
"its for cleaning shotguns, picked it up at a local garage sell" is such an american thing to say
-
Had a different fork, but the principles contained here helped a lot in doing a full service, and getting some movement back in my previously stuck fork.
-
Just happen I need this video today, and you've uploaded on the same day, Amazing.
-
Thank you RJ! Fixed my choppy action and leaky seals myself with this tutorial! Keep doing what you are doing, it truly helps!!
-
Thanks so much!!! I ordered the repair kit from Suntour and everything I needed except your instruction was in the package. Dang! I forgot what suspension was supposed to feel like!! Much appreciated.
-
BIG THANKS RJ done overhaul on suntour xcm, from total seized fully striped down to fully working and lockout fixed (p.s vinegarr soaking rush over night worked a dream)
-
Cracking video, as always, many thanks RJ. Your attention to detail and excellent editing are very much appreciated. I‘ll be tackling my forks tomorrow! Cheers, Simon

... The bike shop says they are disposable forks, but so long as you can get the parts - they will ride again! Looks much easier than I expected too. Thank you
-
Now all I need is that tool to take off the adjustment caps and a proper stand. Always wanted to do self service, thankfully I bumped into this vid. You made it look so easy and it's not a hassle to learn. Thank you!
