HERBXX Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Anybody have any idea what weight of oil showa uses in the xx or f4 shock ? Thanks Herb BTW after taking apart an old xx shock i noticed that the adjustement appears to effect the compression and rebound as there is no internal check valve.

AQUAMAX Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Shock (rear) or fork (front)? I'm gonna go out on a limb here & guess FORK! In which case, probably a 5w oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Aquamax in the garage? Can this be good? :poke: :grin: Fork is 10w. And he did say shock, which I'm guessing he meant, seeing how I recently sent him one for experimental purposes :wink: Sorry, Herb, I'm no help.

HERBXX Posted November 5, 2004 Author Share Posted November 5, 2004 Thanks for the reply, but i meant rear shock oil. I think the stock fork is 10 , but i use 5 in mine with racetech vavles I've been hanging round the traxxion forum and they seem agree stock f4 shock oil is a version of 10 , though thet use an iso measurement there. :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HERBXX Posted November 5, 2004 Author Share Posted November 5, 2004 Red bird , I regret to inform you that your shock died in the name of science :grin: But i think many parts will live on as they are mixed and matched with a f4i shock that it on its way. The seller has already left me positive feed back , so i trust he has actually sent it . Im also hoping to mix a VFR preload adjuster in there somewhere Acording to the ohlins website a f4 shock is only 12mm (.5 inch) shorter the xx so i think i can make up the difference at the top mount. The 929 shock from bay didn't show up and the guy i bought it off is suspended from ebay :mad: He sent me a email today(auction closed on the 8) saying it was in the mail but im not holding my breath) It was only a few bucks , but it still pisses me off.

Redbird Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Red bird , I regret to inform you that your shock died in the name of science I expected as much :grin: Interesting about the lack of a check valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AQUAMAX Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Aquamax in the garage? Can this be good? :poke: :grin: Of course it's good! This is my first step toward shaking that bad rap I've gotten about only being here for the NWS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
