Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

A detailed walk through of the fork oil change procedure on the HIMALAYAN and also about the MOTUL 20W MINERAL and its affects on damping and why i prefer a slower rebound.

    You could test to put in a little more than 450ml (measure the oil level/aircamber from top) if you reduce the air camber hight (more oil) at about 10-20mm you get more progression at the last 1/3 of the travel because of more pressure from the compressed air.....
