I show how to fix the lockout on your SR Suntour forks. These instructions are for Suntour forks with a blue speed lock lever (hydraulic lock-out). These are the instructions Suntour has on their site to adjust your lockout when your lockout is not working. If these instructions do not fix your lockout, it's possible your lockout cartridge is damaged or broken. I have seen some replacement lockout cartridges available online. You will have to determine what type your fork needs. Not sure if a non-working lockout cartridge can be repaired. If I get one, I may give it a shot. The forks in the video are Suntour XCR forks.

I've been repairing bikes since I was a child. No-one taught me, and over time, mainly through trial and error, II earned a reputation for being able to fix almost anything. I don't drive because of my (adult) ADD, so have cycled almost everywhere in my life. Consequently I consider myself something of an expert. Not being arrogant or 'owt like that. It's just accrued knowledge over the last 45 years (I'm 51 now but like I said, been repairing bikes since a child). But dang it, this bloke always, and I mean *always* teaches me something I didn't know before. Brilliant. So thanks RJ, and I really mean that. I can imagine that something that took just a minute or so to fix in reality then becomes an hour or two when you add in setting up the camera, various tripod positioning, working the camera itself, all the way through to editing the video and posting it in here for us all to watch, be entertained by and learn something from. Nice one, thank you. 😊

Thanks! Yeah, shooting video adds a lot of time. Reshooting a single shot over and over, just because I didn't like it, or flub what I was saying. In this video I had it shot, was editing it, and didn't like one shot, so went back and reshot it.

I'm glad that thru your video, you are able to help a lot of people. I also have the same issue with my suntour fork but unsuccessful so far to fix it. I had a hard bump with a rock on a rough road and since then, the lock out no longer works. When I watch this video, I though this would be the solution but no! the nut at the top could not be tightened, it just turn and turn.

Dude thank you!!! My Raidon fork started making weird noises yesterday (unbearable to ride with) every time I compressed or released the fork. It was like a clicking / creaking with a bit of play and sounded like something needed to be oiled. I contacted suntour and was told the noise was normal and to keep riding. Naturally I took the whole fork apart (which I needed to do anyway to increase travel to 120mm). I put the fork back together and still had the same noise! It was so bad that I really contemplated not being able to ride with this fork and if I should look for another one. After watching every video online about this fork I came across yours. Sure enough the Allan key bolt under the lockout wheel was completely loose and there was grease all over. I tightened it and the noise went away. Thank you!!!!

I've just bought a new Whisper electric bike and lockout has stopped working just days after purchase. Blue lever flicks back and forth like it's not doing anything, very loose. Hoping this easy fix solves it as it'll be a trip to the bike shop later today.
