I've never serviced the FORK Oil and now you have me worried. I'll have to look at the vids and hope I can accomplish it. The Gen 1 of course is a 2004 I bought new. So, it surely needs a change of fluid. Thanks for the inputs.
oh really?
ironie off
- yes so urgent! the earlier the better.
and have a look at the inner pipe - if this frontwise shows a matte area the slide-ring inside the outer tube may have lost its dark grey inner (teflon)coating - check this really carefully!
the slide ring may need to be replaced when you see something copper colored shining through
this
non ironic - don´t forget the puke bucket near the fork before you open it.
what you definitely need , are these 4 tools to disassemble the fork´s legs

and if you are all alone in your garage
have a look at my 3rd hand - tool movie - a *.mpg with 27 mb - you should have the vlc-player available
(sorry in german - but i think the movie tells you picturally all you need)
the two chains are fastened with a M10 screw & nut at the fist´s caliper holder
the 3rd hand itself i made of 30 mm wide and 2-3 mm thick flat iron that i found in my scrap corner.

sorry i forgot something
tool no. 4 of the gen1 is too thick for gen2 - here you need a thickness of not more than 1.5 mm
and
tool no. 3 needs another inner thread
- gen 1 - i guess M10
- gen 2 - i guess M8
