I just got this bike friday but there was no manual with it. Does the RST on this bike require maintenance of any kind, and does it have any type of adjustment? The RST site only has a single manual download and it's for some of thier other forks, not these cheaper OEM forks like this.

I dont think you can buy an aftermarket RST. They generally dont even have preload adjustability, but some do. They have no damping, or sealed air cartridges, so there isnt really much you can maintain. Just give it a little shot of Stanchion Lube. It helps alot.
