Title: 38mm Zoke
Post by: skiracer on November 25, 2023, 10:28:51 AM
So the Zokes I have on my 250 are extremely good handling the rocks and roots. However, they are going through the stroke too fast; they are bottoming out too quickly. I want to keep the performance I have at the beginning but to stiffen up the second half of the stroke. More oil (10 wt.) or change to a 15 or 20 weight?

You can try raising the oil level first. Don't go too far or the seals may blow. If that doesn't help you may want to consider new springs.

Thanks Carl, good point.  I am increasing the level from 6 to 5"  I appreciate your input!
