Hi there!

A buddy of mine put a spacer into his rear shock to get a little bit of extra preload (he knows an engineer and they made the jigs and clamps and all).
Did it successfully on his and it works like a charm.

So I thought - why not ?

Mine needs doing as well.

So the engineer dude screws the wrong part of the shock open while my buddy isn't looking and oil squirts all over the show.

So here's my question - how much oil and of what type do they need to put back in there ?
