Ive got no experience with coilforks or anything. But as a mechanical engineer id point out that oil is there for a reason. If you havent got any oil at all the thing is going to break quickly. not enough oil usually means it wont immediately break down but its expected life will decrease significantly.

So in short. do add some oil to the fork
