The hot set up for your old fork is get yourself the up graded bladder for the cartridge, it has 3 ribs on the closed end. It came out in 2009 I think. This will give the cartridge a little more linear feel to it. Do not use the new FOX 10wt oil, it will make your fork to slow in compression. Use 7.5wt Silkolene RSF, this is what FOX use to use in their forks (also maybe branded 'Fuchs') or Motorex.
If you are pulling the Talas unit apart, make sure you pump out all the old Float Fuild, as it gets sticky with age and makes the Talas feel slow. Put back in only 3cc of Float Float. There also may have been some oil transfer from the bottom left side into the Talas unit. This is what makes the Talas feel unresponsive some times.
Before you put new seals in the lowers, remove the bottom out bumper from inside the left lower leg, and put it in the right side with the one thats in there already. This will give more room for splash lube in the bottom of the left side. It will not effect the rightside performance. With the SKF seals, which is all FOX make for your forks now, make sure you smear a small amount of light grease, such as Shimano Dura Ace, around the inside of the seal before instalation. The interface between the fork seal and the lowers should be clean and dry before installing the seals. Soak the foam donut in a mix of suspension fluid and Float Fluid and then seat these under the fork seals once the seals are installed in the lowers. Slide the lowers onto the stantions, being carefull to not snag the foam donuts. A bit of wiggling back and forth maybe required.
You should run 20cc of splash lube in the bottom of the Talas side, 5cc of Float Fluid, 15cc of 7.5wt. Yes more than what FOX recommend. In the damper side run 60cc of splash fluid. 10cc of Float Fluid, 50cc of 7.5wt.
The Talas is agreat unit and very usefull for All Mountain riding. Treat it well and it will keep working for years. The 2012 2 stage Talas works even better if you decide to up grade.
Happy trails.:damn:
