Sebastian Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hi guys,the rear of my KM T1000 keeps sagging. I have changed the shock oil to a 60 weight but now it sags very slowly and generally reacts super slow. I have adjusted the spring but that hasnt helped either. Am i doing something wrong?Seb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am i doing something wrong?Seboil to thick/heavy, springs not beefy enough to overcome oil viscocity and return shock to original position or the piston maybe sticking inside the shock in which case a diss-assembly and rebuild with green slime will help.

Noj Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Silicone shock oil? Baja shocks don't use silicone oil, it kills the seals, anti-foaming HPI shock oil is the stuff to use. 60wt is, IMHO, way too thick for shocks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Thanks guys,yes it is silicone oil so i need to get rid of that. What thikness/weight is normally in the shocks? My manual doesnt state it.what shocks do you guys run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover Man Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 The shock oil will have nothing to do with it sagging. Stronger springs is what you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
