Fork oil

(1/2) > >>

PMK:
Right then, I have a fork seal to do on the F2

I know an oil thread is always asking for trouble but what grade should I use?

(ducks for cover)

Bryanj:
Use a proper fork all in both legs, F2 with two riders SAE30 just you SAE20.

Decenr fork oils wern't about when the books were written for these but are far better than any other straight or mixed batch that used to be used.

As you have to take all the mudguard, wheel etc off to do one I would do both. There is a "Fix" for pitted stanchions it you need it PM me and i will explain it

Seamus:
Apologies for a Slight hijack on the fork seals thought. I have a new set to fit (early K2 forks) and the existing ones are different (thicker) I believe these to be aftermarket as the spacer is no longer present. Anyone know the dimensions of the spacer so I can get a couple made?
These are no longer available.

Thanks

Seamus

PMK:
Thanks for that BryanJ

Much appreciated

BigAl (Alan):
I've used Castrol (fork oil) SAE 10w...the Hayes manual recommends SAE 10-30 for the K0-K6
