Hi

just stripped down my Falcons off a 200 Fantic. What grade of oil would you use and quantity. Also do you have to run them with air in? why not just oil.

I am 75kg and use 40lb springs.

Call robin packham at falcon shocks you need to replace seals aswell I think

I use sae 5 fork oil and fill the bodies to 65mm from the top before reassembling. Afterwards i pressurise with air as high as the compressor will go. You will need new seals, rings for the piston (quote the width of them , there are two sorts and new rods really.

Given up trying to ring Falcon engaged all the time. Have got new seals localy. Will try 5wt oil. Why do you have to add air? how do other shocks differ which dont have air/oil mix?

Robin doesent take calls till late afternoon- you should get him 4pm'ish, or mail him, he does respond.
