Hi
Finnaly I think that I have found the place where my forx float is loosing air.
The other day, I was doing and oil change to the air side, I did lift the seals to put some fox fluid in the foam rings. When I was lifting the seal some air was trapped there, I mean, that I had to wait like 3 seconds, till all the "pssssss", finished. I think that some air, could be passing trough the air chamber to the negative spring, then to the bushing, and finally going out trough the seal. The fork has a little of play just a few mm (1~1.1mm) at the air leg. Is that possible???

Air lost, only happend when I´m riding...when the bike is at the garage air pressure it´s OK.

So, how can I fix that?. New seals?...or do I have to do something else? This air forks sometimes are a real problem.

Thanks!

bye
