on removing the mico damper from my lyriks the oil is like milk! Probably changed it 8 weeks ago and changed all O rings also with a kit from loco. Why would it go like this??

Just changed the oil and all works well 🙂 Only "issue" is a bubbling sound from the top of the damper when i turn the dials

Well, my forks are fubarred anyway, bad winter, new ones bought but this answers that question.

Googles "emulsified".
