    its 2006 i think. im going to try a thicker oil like 10wt as my suspension keeps bottoming out and topping out

    all that will do is make the fork slower.
    if it is an 2006 fork you have air in one side and a coil spring with air preload in the other.

    Air (left leg) between 30 and 65 psi depending on weight. preload for right leg up to 15psi max.

    as per the manual.
