Hi everyone,
I have replaced my fork oil today. I would describe the front feel as “jittery” over small bumps. A bit of an uncomfortable feeling. The forks are not leaking at all, but I have to run some serious air pressure in front to get an OK ride. There does not seem to be any play there in the front end as if the bushings were worn. I plan to go to progressive shocks in the fall. So I have decided to just “refresh” the oil. Boy, was I glad I did.
I was totally blown away with the condition of the oil… or should I say sludge. Some parts of it were thicker than others. Some of it indeed did “gloup” out with the consistency of yogurt. On top of that, there was no where near what should have been in there. Probably about 1/3 to ½ was missing out of each side.
