Anyone ever changed the fluid in one of these things. I can tell mines not working like it used to setting 1 feels like setting 6. I've had it for awhile like at least a couple of years. I've heard you just put 80wt trans/gear oil in them but i've never actually done it. Is it easy or should i just send it out to GPR?

 

anyone???

 

put 20 weight
thats what ive got in mine right now, the hardest setting is almost unmovable while sitting down....80wt might be a little much...

edit- i have a scotts damper...

 

like what 20wt fork oil?

 

im actually not sure, i think it was 20weight fork oil, but im not sure. nags did it for me.

 

it's cheap to send it back to gpr!!!!
i've also heard of useing 80w gear oil!

 

yea i work at a dealer so i think i'm just gonna send it back to them

 

Ive never done it.. but I thought your supposed to submerge it in the oil you want and work it back and forth untill all the air is out? I think it's something you can do yourself.

I'm sure someone will have more input on this.

 

Mine was leaking oil so I sent it back to GPR, it was only $35. They change the seals and the oil and it was only gone 1 week including shipping and I live in DE, so they are quick.

 

+1, adn it works like NEW again.. mine started leaking (id notice oil on my tripples) then it got to where it wasnt even working

 

you should make the trip up here one sunday we're always looking for bigger groups to ride with we got nice parking lots up north (sorry off subject)

 

I would be down for that as soon as I can slow down enough that I am not flying all over the lot. I am working on getting slow stuff down now so i can actually use a ******* lot, LOL. I have one spot that I can ride in and it is about to go away so I need to do something soon.

Where are you? Up around Bear or Newark?

newark outskirts bear is acrossed the street tho

 

$35? That's worth it...good info.

Listen to Brent, come on up sometime, hang out....ride if you want. Of course slower stuff is better for the lots.
