3.1. Service
It is absolutely necessary to clean your fork immediately after every ride! Nothing is worse for your seals than dried mud. The
cleaning instructions are very simple: clean off your stanchions with a soft, clean rag. Use fork oil or light silicone grease to lubricate
the seals.
WARNING: DO NOT use corrosive products such as degreasers on your forks; these will damage the seals.
If you wash your forks with a pressure washer, never orient the stream toward the seals, as it can push dust and grime into the
fork.
The Deville AM uses a closed damper and so the oil changes must be done at a BOS MTB service center. This oil change is done at
the same time as the full fork rebuild.
To ensure the best performance of the stanchions, oil (Bi’oil) is added to the bottoms of the fork lowers. Amount per leg: 10ml

Caution :
The oil service and full service must be performed by a BOS approved center. The BOS approved centers are the only able
to identify and appraise a damaged or worn part, especially in case of shock or wear on structural elements such as the
legs, the stanchions and the crowns.
