Brighter-Lights Posted December 8, 2013 Share I made the special tools and found all the related docs after some searching, but the docs really just confirmed what I already figured out myself. Servicing a FOX rear shock at home is super easy once you know how it works - I mean complete damper disassembly - it enabled me to systematically fine tune the damping circuit to dramatically improve performance for a lightweight rider on a Giant Anthem X.

Alouette3 Posted December 10, 2013 Share What oil can I use for the Fox RP23 shock air sleeve service, I just want to replace the oil not all the seals? I use an 80wt synthetic gear oil in my Fox RP2 and on the upper dust wiper seals of my F125RL. Should be able to get it form Midas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I've heard, 80wt synthetic gear oil, so I can use that to replace the Float fluid when I do the air sleeve service on my RP23 rear shock? Any recommendations on the make of oil to buy?

Any gear oil will do, I happened to have a bottle of castrol in the garage so I used that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylark Posted December 22, 2013 Share Does 80wt equate to any other number?Asked at a few motor spares shops and they had no idea what 80wt means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted January 4, 2014 Share Apparently 80wt is the same as 80W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
