Ok, I just caught up on the thread again.
Two last thing I want to say. FIrst off, its all about the serial number. Sounds to me, the fork was originally built as an early release 06, meaning the Serial number listed that the fork was origianl assembled in 05. So there is where teh confusion is probabnly coming from with Rockshox. Sorry bro, I hate to say, looks like the guy who sold you the fork lied about what year it was, or he was misinformed when he bought it as well. Two very hi possibility's.
Second part I want to add. I have seen this many times form all the Manf.'s "send it in, we will take care of it." But they never say it will be free until its in there hands. thats jnust how it goes. The best way I have found to get warranty on forks/rear shocks, Is to go to a bike shop that can do it IN HOUSE. I get ALOT more warranty options due to this where we are at. GOt an 08 Marz with bad bushings? We let Marz know we can do it, yeah ther bad, they send us lowers. We cant, we send it in, they decide there. Boxxer with a bad valve assembly? We can do it in house, our opinion goes a long ways in warranty when they can shipo the parts out and have us take care of it!!!!!
Try that next time. May get better results
