Does anyone have experience with different weight oils in their lever arm
shocks?
I have elected not to have my shocks rebuilt as I think they are in pretty
good shape, but they do appear to be low on oil. (There is no fresh oil on
the outside of the shocks.) I know the mainstream vendors sell "shock" oil,
but I am curious if anyone has any experience with using different wt oils,
ie. motorcycle fork oils, etc, instead.
I have used synthetic motorcycle fork oil in motorcycle forks. It is
available in a wide variety of weights and in very stable. Should be great
for lever arm shock tuning. I just need some help in finding a good weight
to start with. Now that I have mastered removal of the shock link from the
spring perch, I am willing to remove them a time or two to get a good
handling, comfortable ride.
