You are lucky to have a place where you can do it yourself!

So true lol 😂

Holy crap, sorry for your experience man! I hope mine will be okay. So far everything works fine, it's very plush and the preload knob is super convenient thing to have. In a couple of weeks I'm going on a 2 weeks trip I hope it'll be okay.

Having the remote preload adjustment knob is a big improvement for me and was the primary reason for the upgrade. As for the performance it's hard to say, because to be able to tell objectively I would need to compare with a new or freshly serviced stock suspension. Mine was already after 25000 km and the oil in it already lost the damping properties. When it was new I remember that the damping was good, but after so many kilometers the oil degraded and in the corners it was oscillating a bit (sorry for no better words to describe, I'm not a native speaker). After the upgrade of the rear shock and changing oil in the front fork it's not oscillating anymore as expected, but how much better it performs compared to the new stock suspension I can't say.
