Fox fork how much oil

Clean Dust Wipers Instead of replacing the dust wipers, we are just going to clean them and throw everything back together. This is a good time to inspect the dust wipers and make sure they aren't damaged. Using a clean shop rag or microfiber towel, wipe them clean. This is a nice easy way to make sure you aren't reintroducing any contaminants into the new bath oil.

Install New Foam Rings Before you put the new foam rings into the fork lowers, you will want to soak the foam rings in a small container of fork fluid. The damper side for the Grip 2 damper specifically uses Fox 5wt Teflon Infused bath oil and the air spring side uses Fox 20wt Gold bath oil.

Give the foam rings a few minutes to absorb as much of the fork oil as possible. The best way to install the new foam rings is to take one at a time out of the oil soak using your pick and set them inside the dust wiper.

Then push the foam rings in to place with your fingers. Pump Up Air chamber Before you slide the lower legs back on to the upper tubes, attach the Fox Digital shock pump on to the fork and pump up the air chamber to 60 psi. This will make things easier to reinstall the lower legs. Slick Honey or Sram Butter is a light grease specifically designed to lubricate the dust seals and stay in place. Here we are using Sram Butter. Apply a layer of Sram Butter to the inside of the dust seals.

This will help keep the fork lubricated and feeling supple. Slide Lower Legs Back On To Upper Tubes Before the lowers go back on, tilt the upper tubes slightly inverted so that once the lowers are slid back on we can add bath oi Make sure you orient the lowers on to the upper tubes correctly.

The damper side is on the rider's right, and the air spring on the riders left side. Gently slide the upper tubes through the dust wipers without pushing the damper rod and air spring rod all the way through the bottom of the lower.

That way we can add bath oil! Add Bath Oil Fill each syringe with the correct amount of bath oil for each side of the fork. The fork we are servicing here is a Fox 36 Factory series fork with the Grip 2 damper. For this particular model, we are adding 10cc of Fox 20wt Gold to the air spring side, and 40cc of Fox 5wt Teflon Infuse oil to the damper side of the fork. It is very important to use the correct amount of bath oil in both sides of your fork. See the photo below to make sure you are using the correct oil type and oil volume for your fork.

Slide Lower Legs Into Place And Reinstall Crush Washer And Bottom Nuts Now that the fork is full of the correct bath oil, slide the lowers far enough on to the upper tubes so that the damper rod and air spring rod come out of the lower legs.

Place the appropriate Fox crush washers in to place and thread both bottom nuts on by hand. Using a torque wrench, torque both bottom nuts to 5.

No need to over tighten. Then thread on rebound knob cover. We will be using Maxima Contact Cleaners to get everything nice and clean. Remember to set your fork back to your desired pressure and equalize the positive and negative air chambers when you do.

Throw it back on your bike and go for a rip! You Made It! Fox make realy good products, But Fox's market policy is a non sense in Posted: Apr 28, at Any 20w oil been using for years w zero issues. I'd spend more money on type of pivot bearings,etc.

Posted: Jan 16, at Today I was searching to find an equivalent fork oil to Fox gold 20 wt for my 32 fit 4 and I read this topic. I found that Elf motorcycle fork oil 20 w,is almost identical to Fox gold. Rarely you can pick a deal for less than 5 euros. I couldn't found Fox gold for less than 22 euros for ml. But the C cst spec wasn't available from manufacturer. Actually it didn't matter as the price of Ohlins was higher than Fox. Posted: May 30, at Jordansemailaddress wrote:.
