Dear Friends of Cycling, i need help i use a SR SUNTOUR M9050 fork in my Bike. Since a week it
has lost its whole suspension, the fork hardly moves up and down. The springs in it are in in
prestine condition (just a little old). Can anybody give me repair instructions for this fork.
Thank you RedT

Hi I stripped a pair of these forks and changed the springs last week. Take the forks off the bike,
turn them upside down and you'll see a 5mm allen bolt at the bottom of each leg. undo these, then
pull the crown part away from the fork legs. the crown will come out with both springs still
attached to the bottom. You then unsrew the springs from the crown, then unsrew the nylon retainers
from the bottom of each spring (this may take some muscle power, or a vice and pair of pliers!!)
Then you can slip out the elastomers and replace elastomers and or springs if nessecary. Clean and
regrerase, reassemble in the reverse order of dissasembly, and refit the forks. This job took me
40mins 30 off which was trying to unscrew the nylon retainers 🙂)

Good luck!!!!!
