[. . . ] Your White Brothers DH-2 fork comes with the damping adjusted in the middle of its range. Use the following guidelines to determine if further adjustment is needed. A) If your fork rebounds too slowly, turn the adjustment screw on the top of the right fork leg one turn counter-clockwise (8 turns out is the maximum)(figure 3). The fork should absorb and return fast enough to absorb the next major obstacle. A sign that your fork is rebounding too slowly is if it feels like it pack-ups or continues to compress as you go through rough sections. B) If your fork is rebounding too fast, turn the adjustment screw on the top of the right fork leg clockwise 1/2 turn at a time. We suggest you disassemble your fork, inspect, clean and re-grease them after 30 hours of use. If the fork appears to be relatively clean, you can probably go 40 hours between servicing. The three things that will most effect the service interval and performance of your fork is water, mud and dust. How much time you use your fork in those conditions will determine how much service it requires. NOTE: When cleaning the fork, it is not recommended to direct water spray at the seals. Internal build up of water and dirt, or a lack of lubrication will cause excessive wear to the fork. In harsh conditions it is advisable to inspect the fork for dirt ingestion after each ride. Basic service should include disassembly of the fork, cleaning and regreasing all shafts and seals. At this time, the fork should be carefully inspected for wear and damage before reassembly. NOTE: Disassembly of the hydraulic damper should be left for a dealer who is familiar with servicing the WB hydraulic damper and has the special tools that are required. White Brothers recommends that you consult with a qualified technician before performing the following: Basic Fork Disassembly recommended that you always replace seal # WB-97-1409 every time 1. ) Disconnect from brake caliper.

[. . . ] If there is noticeable play between fork legs and fork tubes, the DU bushes located inside the upper fork stanchion may require replacement.

Also lube the DU bushings that are located inside fork outer leg by dipping a socket extension in grease and applying the grease to the DU bushings. [. . . ]
