2011 six days fork fixed (kinda)

Thats because 5W causes loss in rebound control, one thing this fork does not need with the free bleed in the rebound piston. Viscosity has a greater effect on rebound than compression.

So whats up with that spacer / spring base mod? Still interested in seeing a pic of the OEM parts.

Does it come with 5wt from the factory?

LTR put 10wt in my 2005 Zokes even after he revalved them for rocks and to massage the problem of a lack of rebound.

I got mine back from Factory Connection ... They use some high zoot 5wt fork oil they got from honda through the mx racing. Seems to work nicely front and back .... I'm guessing its all about the valving. bike absolutely devoured some nasty up hill rock gardens this weekend. Not so hot in the whoops though!!

You should go by specified viscosity indices when comparing oils, not the listed weight. They vary greatly. I found that Spectro 125/150 works well in the Zoke 45s.
