Hello,
If you own a rockshox fork I advise doing a lower leg before 50 hours.
I had a friend tell me his brand new boxxer had almost no oil in the lowers, so I decided to check my fork and my wifes fork, we both only have about 10 hours on our forks but I decided to check anyway. I was very upset to find my wifes fork had ZERO oil in the air side lower!!!!!!!!! and almost no grease in the seals. havent had a chance to do my own fork yet but I am assuming it'll be the same story.
So check your fork people! even if they are new!

You don't even have to remove the bearings, just pop the seals off and use a syringe.
Definitely a good thing to check on, it's easy to do a lower service, but maybe not as pervasive as we're lead to believe?
