NorthernBloke Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Evening gents, I'm re-building my forks with new seals and bushes which has been a right B*****d and I'm finally ready to put the oil in and I'm informed it should be 5w, is this right as after all the trouble I've been to I want them to work properly. BTW I weigh 15 stone and only use it for Sunday blasts and never carry a passenger. Also I've not ridden the bike yet so have no reference as I bought it as a project so if someone can advise what fork oil to use I can get some tomorrow at the Stafford show all being well.

gsx Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Yeah 5 is right and that's with an 11 air cooled lump , 10 makes the front end too harsh Quote Link to comment
NorthernBloke Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Cheers, did it with 5w as if I don't like it, it can be changed later but after an hours test ride today all seems fine 1 Quote Link to comment
