Evo Shock - Oil Change..softer damping?

Featured Replies

Is there a way to soften an Evo shock, 2016 4t?  (I have the adjustment at full soft.)  The manual lists an oil so a thinner oil may do the trick.  But, I don't see a pressure valve.  Can the oil be changed? 

I just put thinner oil in the forks at a 5 mm lower level and like the feel.  At 152 pounds and a non aggressive riding style, I suspect softer is better.

I see your from California, contact Randy Lewis at R-racing 661-821-9952.  He knows every thing about rebuilding Beta shocks, i have an Ohlins on the rear of my 2016 Factory 4T that he modified, it's still my favorite bike.
