Has anyone here serviced the damper on a Fox RP23 shock. Mine is making the odd slurping sound from time to time so I suspect it's lost pressure under the IFP. The information I don't have is the IFP height & pressure. It's different for each shock eye to eye etc & stroke length. The gas pressurisation & the tools to complete this I definitely don't have & would have to be bought.
I might be better off sucking up the cost & getting TF/Mojo to do it but curiosity has got the better of me.
Thx in advance, D.
I took my old one to TF Tuned (do t live that far away) a few years ago (8?) and they got it running sweet. Tim Flooks had popped in to help them out that day and he was very helpful and happy to chat about customising it (I just slept in the back of my van until they knocked on the door as I always drop it off post night shift).
They’ve sorted all our stuff and I only have good things to say about them.
Thank you. I'll probably send it away to TF during the winter for an overhaul. Like you, I've used them in the past & they've been excellent.
Don't Fox dampers need some sort of high pressure nitrogen charge when servicing the damper? Definitely something you wouldn't be able to do at home without some very expensive tools.
I always got my Fox shocks (RP23 and then a DPS Evol) done at either TF Tuned or J-Tech. Very happy with both.
its not that difficult, just depressurize first
You can find detailed info online, or I might be able to dig it up
You will need a 400psi shockpump, needle adaptor and allen key to modify
Thx all. I'll have a trawl :o)
Done quite a few in the past when giving Loco a hand, can't say i'd want to do one unsupervised if i'm honest. I'd definitely consider getting a custom tune on the damping though, the few that i've owned had way too much high speed compression damping,reducing it made an incredible difference to the control over the chattery stuff.
#Coatsey Thanks, I'll mention this when I send it off.
