From GPR:

We exclusively use Silkolene synthetic fork fluids, but most synthetic fork fluids will
work. For dampers w/ a 1-6 dial, dirtbikes use 10wt, ATV’s 15wt and sport bikes work best w/ a 20wt fluid. Sport bike
racers (track day and AMA racers) and stunt riders will usually use a 30wt fluid. If you ride tight woods, or feel the #1
setting was too stiff for you, you may try a 5 or 7wt fluid. If you want more damping and find yourself riding at #5 or #6, you
may want to try a stiffer fluid weight. For newer dampers, w/ 1-8 adjustment dial range, 2wt is used for dirt/atv and 5wt for
sport bikes, as the dampers internal componentry and fluid flow adjustment is completely redesigned. Newer dampers (1-8,
late 2004), have a broader range of adjustment and if you feel you need the damper stiffer w/ 5wt on the #8 setting than
give us a call, as #8 is as stiff or stiffer than the original damper set at #6 w/ 30wt fluid.

Also from GPR:

"We are continuing our longstanding policy of
inspecting & replacing seals and fluids once per every 18 months per damper at no charge to our US based customers other than the $10 freight fee
for UPS Ground shipping back to your location. To qualify for a free service you must include a copy of your original store receipt and have not had
your damper serviced in the past 18 months. If you do not send in a copy of your receipt w/ this document than we cannot extend a free
damper service to you. A very reasonable fee of $25 is due at time of service when a warranty or complimentary service situation is not applicable."

Not a bad deal...

And usually a 5 minute conversation with Randy will get you free service no matter how many times you send it in. I was working with him in the past on a new design and he loaned me 2 different models to try and keep while mine was getting the new parts. He's a great guy and service is A+....

....that is if you can stand having one less knob.....
