Ok. Hey I explained this and thats what came back. Don't shoot the messenger!
There is one check I am going to do tonight-
Undo the spring top-cap, then compress the fork, if the fork bottoms out early then you've definitely got an oil lockout.
...you can also get that from simply having too much oil in the moco side I think.

It's possible, yes, but that would ahve to be something you've done yourself. Oil doesn't appear in there by magic..... 😉
Hora, no need to undo the spring really. If it's leaking, a quick bounce on the bars will reveal a definate stop at about half travel.... 🙂
yes, I may be speaking from experience here 😳
But who knows what goes on in hora world? 😆

Talk to me...
I used a syringe and injected circa 15ml into the bottom of each lower when I bought the forks. Should i drop this to circa 5mm?? Hmmm
hora world is worrywold.
right- will bounce when I get in and report back.
You guys also realise that I my principle mechanical ability is a claw hammer dont you? 😆

that is fine Hora, it only causes the lock if you put it in the moco chamber, not the lowers.

You bought them used and serived them yourself IIRC?
What did you actually change/remove/add/do?

Brand new 3months ago.

Just the above along with the stiffer spring.
Heavy bounce/body over the forks- 50%, just under the 'U' graphic on the stanchion. I can get abit more (inch)- however it involved basically throwing 100kg's ontop of the forks with alot of effort!
Interestingly. I undid the bottom/lowers bolts tonight and alot of oil dropped out of the moco leg with very little in the spring leg.
