Has anyone ever blown the rod on their Boxxer motion control?
I believe I was running too heavy of an oil and it caused the blue rod to bend and it seized the fork, causing a pretty bad crash.
I cut the outside of the motion control cylinder off since I need a new one anyone and its easier to see what happened.
I put in 12.5 wt because I got it rebuilt at a race and 6wt was put in and it was toping out. I figured it was too light of an oil, but now I think there just wasn't enough in there and the 12.5 wt was too thick.

I posted this in Lets Talk About Shocks forum. Looking for some feedback so this doesn't happen again. I crashed pretty bad because of this.
