Talking about suspension.... anyone know what oil should be used when rebuilding a Fox DHX coil? Viscocity in cST please!

Silkolene Pro RSF 10wt is what's used from factory these days, to my knowledge. It is 47.36cSt, with a VI of 303.

I'd recommend any of the other Pro RSF fluids (for fine tuning) as well, they all have high VI's and work well in shocks.

Hope that helps, excuse the serious post

Thanks!!

Looks like Fox dampers like very heavy oil... my Roco uses 3wt Maxima (14 cst!)

You need extra medium. Most motorcycle shops should stock it but if not, you could try mixing equal portions of somewhat medium and uber medium and it should be just right.

(just right being 32cSt, or thereabouts)

Hahaha, uber medium! Thanks for the info.

Do you know when Fox changed to the 10wt Silkolene? I always thought that the earlier DHXs were Torco RSF Medium @ 31.82cSt.

****ing hell, you really can't keep a thread on topic on this forum can you...

Eh? All this talk of oil weights is on topic! It covers points 1, 5, 6, and 9 of your guide.

In the 05 shocks, running into 06 that may have been the case, but on 07 and later shocks that I've opened, it has been the new 10wt Silkolene (red). The Torco RSF-M is purple to my knowledge.

Now let's get the thread back on topic before I get banned.

For anyone attempting to get that last 7% of extra medium in their dampeNr, this video should clear everything up:
