|   01 X-Fly Oil Change queation... | DIRT BOY
Feb 18, 2002 8:18 AM | | I am changing the oil in my X-fly and it says in the manual that SX side gets 45mm of oil and the DX side gets 5mm of oil.
Is this correct? I have heard people metion to put 45mm of oil in both side...that sound wrong?
Now that 45mm fro the top and 5 mm from the stop for oil height?
Any help would be great. |

Feb 18, 2002 12:51 PM | | I'm 150 pounds and added Marzocchi 7.5. It is the oil I was recommended by a lot of people.
Will the 5 wt. make the shock stiffer or less stiff? I'm not totally sure of the difference. |

Feb 19, 2002 7:55 AM | | I changed mine last week. I was amazed at how low the oil was from the factory(80 mm on one side 95mm on the other). I'm about 190 lbs. and I put 15 wt. oil in at 40 mm each side. The fork is 100% better I was imeadiatly ridding faster with more confadence. The 15 wt. oil is very heavy and slowed the compression down a good bit thats my personal preferance. |
