Changing the weight of oil in your fork can alter the rebound. Your fork is designed to use RockShox Extra
Light weight oil. If the rebound is too quick, you may need to put a heavier weight oil into the fork. We
recommend RockShox Heavy Weight oil. To change the oil follow the procedure under "Every Year or One
Hundred Hours of Riding".
Maintenance
As long as moving parts are exposed to the elements, moisture and contamination can reduce performance.
Jett XC forks are designed to be easy to maintain. To maintain high performance, safety, and long life, periodic
maintenance is required. RockShox forks are engineered for easy service to help you keep the fork clean,
greased, and performing like new. Performing maintenance more often is necessary if you ride in extreme
conditions. The recommended tools and intervals for maintenance are listed below.

Before every ride, inspect the following parts:
1. Front wheel and quick release for proper installation and adjustment
2. Fork for any obvious damage (crown, brace, upper tubes, lower tubes, and dropouts)
3. Front brake cable for proper routing
4. Front brake pads for proper contact with the rim
5. Front brake lever for proper adjustment
6. Headset for proper function and adjustment
After every ride clean and dry the fork, taking care not to get water in the fork at the upper tube/lower tube
junction.
After every week or eight hours of riding, clean and oil the upper tubes and check fasteners for proper torque.
Follow this procedure:
1. Lift fork boots from lower tubes. Then wipe exterior surfaces, Resi-wiper seal
area and upper tube clean. Apply 2-3 drops of Teflon-fortified oil to the
upper tubes at the Resi-wiper. (See Fig. 3)
2. Refit fork boots into Resi-wiper seal groove using small blade screwdriver.
Engage the boot with Resi-wiper seal groove at the rear and rotate boot
around the upper tube to fully engage its lower edge behind the brace. A
small amount of oil on the mating surfaces helps.
3. Check crown bolts, brace bolts, and brake posts for proper torque. (Refer to Torque Tightening Values, above.)
4. Repeat procedure on other leg.
After every year or one hundred hours of riding, clean and grease the spring stacks, bushings, Resi-wiper seal and
replace the oil.
