Typhon grom shock question
I’m a noob. Appreciate all the great info from you fine folks so I’m back for more advice. Wanted to experiment with heavier shock oil in typhon grom blx. Thought it might help reduce chassis slapping as hard as it does on landings. I know some slap is normal and expected, but I enjoy tinkering especially when weather doesn’t let me drive it. Will be spending most of its time at skate park and jumps at home. Badlands Mx 1.9. Steel skid plates added a little weight. Thought I read somewhere the stock oil was 30 wt, so I got a bottle of TLR 40 wt. dumped the stock oil and it was THICC. Then I found the detailed spec sheet online which is super handy. It says 2,000 cst??!! Based on TLR’s conversion that’s over 160 wt which seems crazy for a grom. But again, limited experience. (Built a very high tech shock stand with my 4 year old)
TLDR: Is the stock 2k cst accurate?
Would it be crazy/pointless to use heavier shock oil?
If I do go heavier, any suggestions on what viscosity?
