X12’25 tech tip: to reduce the built in preload on the side springs, you may want to raise the rear carbon brace by 0.5-1.0mm to completely remove the preload. Keep in mind that the top brace (which the side tubes and center dampener mount onto) will have to be raised by the same amount to have clearance. We recommend using minimum or a slight side spring preload for most conditions. - Alexander Hagberg
Some customers have reported leaking of the center dampener from the o-ring seal. This can be solved by adding a 0.1mm M3 shim in between the o-ring and the bottom cap. The o-ring puts a slight pressure onto the o-ring which helps it seal better and thus, minimizes leaking. Make sure that you tighten the bottom cap as far into the shock body as it possibly can go. I use a HUDY Multi-Tool to hold the dampener while tightening this cap.
