Question on air forks

[Monsieur Remings]

Okay, due some inexperience and a very tight cap, no doubt caused by water, I managed to unscrew the top of the air fork where I got a good look inside.... What I meant to do was unscrew the cap to the air cap alone to check the pressure.

So, I tightened it back up again and refilled the bugger with air. I'm guessing this is okay and there's nothing else I need to be aware of?

Thats about it.

Although i always check it a few hours later just to make sure.

Okay so no damage opening up the top of the air fork (other than losing all the air)?

Not unless any bits went walkies.

Just ensure the seal is good.

I have put a very small wipe of vaseline on the caps as mine got totally covered.
