The fork is newly bought this year but I put about 300 miles on it. I remember when I first starting using it the stanchions were always covered with oil. I think this fork has an oil bath.
I haven't been paying attention but I noticed the fork seems a little creeky, and when I hold the front brake down and lift up on the handlebar I hear a clicking noise someplace.
I then noticed that the stanchions seem to be completely dry, even if I rub my finger on them.
Could I have lost all my oil and not know it?
Is there an easy way to check the oil level?
how difficult is it for me to change the oil or should I send the shock in for maintenance?
Should I not ride the bike until I figure out if there is oil?
Thanks,
