Just received my new 2012 fox 40. I'm about 180 or a bit less now, stock spring. First time I sat on the bike the fork barely sank into its travel. Small bumps are harsh and on the first hard hit, a small jump, heard a high pitched squeak.
I heard the these forks need breaking in time. That would affect the small bump but what about the sag? Doing some research on the Internet I found that fox had a tendency to ship forks low on oil and dry seals. I found you can pry up the seals on the lowers and lube them up along with the foam seals. But I also read you don't want to do that with the skf seals, anybody done this on there 2012 40? Got a feeling I'm going to open the fork up and look at the oil levels and lube the seals.
