Haven't touched my Foes in about 4 years, rode it last week, seals were dry and puked out the oil. Just popped new seals in it and replaced the oil, and it seems way too soft.
Fork in question is a 2004 888R
I believe I've got all the air bled out of the cartridge, seemed good to go anyway.
Have the correct amount of oil, and the travel seems decently progressive.
The springrate seems good, sag is right where I want it, and I can preload it just right to wheelie/bunny-hop/whatever.
The problem is I'm blowing through the travel way too fast. I can't quite bottom it out in the neighborhood, but dropping off my planter-bed I can blow through about 7" of travel, way too much for an 18" drop.
Thinking since I can't revalve like a truck shock, step up from 7.5wt oil to 10. Does that make sense? Does it sound like I mite have other issues?
