Rock Shox R8038002 Monarch Plus 🔧 B1 Service Kit (Full) – 11.4118.038.002, Multicolor Replacement Review

My analysis of this service kit showed that it is a worthwhile upgrade for any rider looking to improve their bike's suspension. The kit was easy to install and made my Monarch Plus feel smoother and more responsive on the trail. The seals and o-rings are high-quality and have kept the fork running smoothly for months. The only downside is that the kit is a bit pricey, but the improved performance is worth the investment.

Missing parts to convert the container. It came with a retaining ring, combination gasket, and IFP gasket, but no IFP valve gasket, and most importantly, compression block gaskets. I was already halfway through the kit when I was so concerned with the service and found these parts were missing so I can't return them. The seals were in good condition so just cleaned and reused, but I would be very upset if I had to repeat that 3 hour service to install the parts that should have been in this…

It really worked! I completely rebuilt my 2017 Rochshox Monarch Plus with automatic sag. This kit includes gaskets for the Debonair cylinder which I obviously haven't used. I had to purchase separately: seal lube, 3w suspension fluid, 15w oil and an IFP adapter for my shock pump. All else I could do without is specialty bike tools, which are always ridiculously overpriced. On the internet I found a .pdf SRAM Rockshox Monarch Plus RC3/R service manual that showed me step by step what I had to do
