GregHurst Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 What oil is reccomended for the Shox, front, rear and centre diff on the vapor pro, the manual says 6000wt for all shox and diffs? Just so you know I am about to order what I need to re-build a Vapor Pro from scrtach so any advice and tips useful.

Jumper Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 no way would you put 6K in the shocks they wouldn't move!! 40w/45w for shocks don't know about the diff though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 7-10-5 is always a good starting point in the diffs and 35wt in the shocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregHurst Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Sounds good, here is a link to the manual pdf, just so you can see the 6000wt recommended - Manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brierley4life Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 so what's the difference between a Vapor and a Vapor pro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregHurst Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Not 100% sure, got it second hand off Ebay. I believe the main differences are it includes 21 hop-up parts. More CNC bits and carbon. Oh and the price is alot different new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAZ Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Has the vapor pro got the standard vapor/kryptonite shocks? if so, you might wanna go for a higher weight diff oil the 35wt. I've got the krytponite and found the stock springs waaay to soft. even with the spacers and a heavier weight oil, still wasnt right. If you find its the same, try some different springs. their 16mm big bore shocks so maybe hong nor big bore shocks would fit?? I got some mugen ones which are fine. As for the diffs, not too sure, theres more peeps on here that can help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
