m4inbrain Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I'll be having a faff around with it, can't be that hard to figure out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derka Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 No mention of what viscosity the silicone fluid in the dampers is inside the manual. You can buy three different rate springs according to their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I mean, they're cheap as chips, might as well get a softer set and try that for good measure. Does the manual by chance say what springs come with it (i'd assume medium, but i've been wrong before)? Might shoot Absima a message in regards to the viscosity, would be handy to know for a shock rebuild as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomr Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Nothing in the manual on springs /oil used .An email to Absima is definitely your best bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derka Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) In the manual it shows 1230537 as the spare parts for the springs. I'm not sure if that's the softest or hardest though.

"Good day, from factory, we use 500 oil in the dampeners and the soft springs are mounted on our sherpa. Best regards" So, 500cst (i assume, they didn't specify cst/wt etc) in the shocks, and the springs mounted from factory are "soft". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
