Koni Shocks ?

[crash carden]

Hello, I have a set of Koni shocks that are the original ones installed on my 73 Penton 250 Harescrambler. Does anyone know what type of fluid/oil Koni put inside their shocks? They are in good shape no leaks.I have taken them apart to clean them up and paint them.However I have not opened the fluid container,I wanted to find out if the fluid/oil should be replaced,and what type I need to replace it with.Thanks for any help, Crash Carden Team Penton! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

I just did a pair of Koni's.  I used Maxima ultra light shock oil.  Seems to work okay.

Rocket,

The Koni shocks that you rebuilt were they the series 76, that you had a question posted on the board earlier?  Looking at the Koni web site 76 series shocks were supposed to have unreplaceable seals.

Just curious.  

Thanks

I just took everything apart and cleaned, the seals looked very good.  The oil was pretty clean so I don't think they had a lot of time on them.  I installed new o-rings and oil.  Looks like they will be okay.  They are the 76F series shocks.  They look totally rebuilable to me.
