Rebuild kit for 2013 Rockshox SID?

[NHAero]

So many versions of kits out there! Is this the correct one?

How hard is this to do for a DIYer? The instruction manual is quite detailed. I rebuilt and modified the forks on a Suzuki SV650 years ago. Or should I send the fork out to a specialist?

At least the RS fork i did wasnt too bad except for that fact that when I pulled it apart, there was a wavy washer that was broken but was part of something that couldnt be taken apart, so i just tossed it. Still worked ok. Take a look and see if you can use and of that oil i have for sale in my thread. If you buy it, ill give you a TON of RockShox spare seals/various parts needed for rebuilds. Always good to have more than you need around.

Also OEM kits are the only ones id ever buy.

The kits have been ginned down to 2, a single air and dual air

Easy job if you all the tools, oils and grease. A good clip puller makes the job easier. Fork seal tool is a nice touch. Slather everything in slick honey. I use a syringe to measure/insert oil in the open bath before the lowers are completely installed. More you do it, faster it goes

Good advice!

Anyone know if the older 28mm SID forks can be rebuilt with parts still available today?
At my lighter weight, I always liked the old ones, and have two that could use rebuilding.

The wipers will be easy, rest not so much. You may have to pull it apart and head to the plumbing aisle for o rings

The older RS forks are really easy. You'll make a mess, but as long as you get all the air out of it, no problem.
