Don't forget to ask about MX-style fenders...........I know all about 'em!

Waking this one up.

I went from 5 weight to ATF (7.5 +/-) and liked the change. It makes me wonder if I would like 10 weight.

Anybody ever go from 5 to 7.5 to 10? What's your feedback?
I'd hate to go through all the $ and trouble and find out 10 sucks, and then have to go back to 7.5.

Thanks . . . . . .

I was running ATF, but I wanted to slow the action of my .46 springs some, so I tried 10w

It's freaking AWESOME! Hard to believe just a change in oil weight could make such a dramatic change in handling

My first ride running 10w, I was running down a rutted out trail that I normally take my time on and pic my lines. But with the 10w I was able to haul ass and not worry about the ruts.

Now I'm totally confused. I got the 35k springs from JFR and was trying to figure out which oil to use, he recommends 50/50=.7.5 wt fork oil.
Mobil 1 is 7.6? and now 10wt gets rave reviews.

But will 10wt work with the lighter springs and 160# rider?

I think Wibby needs to disclose HIS specs....

Everything's in my bike profile

almost

Not your bikes specs... YOURS!

I figured that was what you were getting at

OK, put in the new springs and Mobil 1 ATF (no one mentioned the smell!)
measured the distance for the spacers and added 1/4" pre-load per JF for a
160# rider.

The PVC spacer is about 1/2" shorter than the stock metal tubes. Does this sound right? The bike seems to sag a bit more than before, but it's hard to tell.

The springs were the same length as stock .35k vs .30.

Any recommendations?

Ride it and see how you like it!

as soon as I get the carb sorted out...
