I recommend to disassemble all the diffs before use. My FK04 came with a dry diff. It is just an assembly mistake of the factory operators - I don't blame them, for me is building two diffs a day is more than enogh and they build what? like hundred a day

This is my second "new" Xray and neither had "dry" diffs. The diff just aren't packed with an excessive amount of diff lube. But if, you truely believe they're "dry", feel free to re-build. I don't think it's necessary. Xray's assemblers are usually on-point with partial assembly and packaging the kits.
I don't think you have anything to worry about.

This is Abhi from Horsham...
Build your shocks with the adjustable pistons, I noticed that once the shocks are made, its hard to get to the pistons, without taking the ball cup on the end off.
That was my observation.

I'm with Kewdawg on the shocks. I hated them, but never gave up on them. Just needed to figure out a good method of re-building them.
Some people get air bubbles in their shocks when using the adjustable pistons and can't figure why. The 30wt Xray oil is relatively thicker than Trinity or AE oil of the same rating. Make sure that after you fill the shock body with oil, you pump and "key in" the piston in each locking groove at the base of the shock body to ensure that they're are no air pockets. Also make sure to pump out the air while adjusting the the piston settings... one hole closed, two holes closed etc. They're are lots of little holes on the adj. pistons for air to get trapped in.

That's how Josh did his shocks. Fixed pistons with the correct amount of pack from specified weight oil.

Xray 30wt. should be equivalent to Trinity 60wt..
