My Onyx 38 Was Terrible from new... it was stock on a new bike, got it rebuilt by dvo nz under warranty and man its absolutely amazing now.
It had bushing bind and made horrid noises when loading/twisting(steering etc)

Nice to see, I do the service on all my forks but the zeb is probably the easiest of the bunch.
Well, maybe that charger bladder isn't the easiest thing to replace also I screwed up the bleeding the first time I had only a cup installed and stroked the shaft a couple of times 😂 it turned out damping vanished, anyway I figured you have to use a syringe to properly bleed it...😅

I always just sniff the oil. They're usually one of three. Motul, maxima or finishline. They have very distinct smells. Finishline can go in anything without damaging seals unless there was silicone oil in it
