I'm hoping somebody can chime in on this and give me a hand. I've looked in the service manual and there's in-depth instructions on how to pull the strut apart and do a full service. I really don't have the time to do that before my ride. Is there any way to add oil without fully disassembling the strep? Can I unscrew one of the little plugs on top and add oil? I'm not too worried about oil level right now, and I've heard that how full the oil is only really affects the last part of the shock and I never come close to bottoming out on the trails I ride. I just don't want to ruin this shock by running out of oil and gouging the piston. Could somebody please help me out and let me know if I can add oil to the top to get me through my next ride? And since I believe the shock is essentially drained all the oil, about how much would I be adding? If this simply isn't possible and I need to take the whole shock apart, please let me know
I really haven't been able to find an answer this question online or through YouTube. For the most part everybody seems to just tear down their entire shock and replace the seals. I don't have the seals or the time to do that.
