Ok, I just got this bike 2016 YZ250 2T and it has forks and a shock off a 2018. I know it is probably exactly the same but incase there is a difference I am noting it. Yesterday I changed the fork springs and it is much more involved than my old 2000 forks.
I poured out the oil and when I got the inner "strut" thing out, I noticed that it has oil in there also but I was told that I did not need to change that.
My question is this;
1. Do I need to change this "internal" oil, how and how often?
2. If I put in a different weight oil on the outer oil, say 10w instead of 5w, does it have any effect on the system or does all the dampening come from the inner strut/oil??
