400F fork oil capacity question.
Laverda Dave:
😂😂 Cod almighty these puns are terrible.
TrickyMicky:
I think I'll just skate over these silly remarks.

ATF often used as it offered a consistent viscosity of 5 usually, coupled with its inclusion of anti foaming, usually its silicone oil, to avoid cavitation and reduced damping constants. Quite effective generally.
Quantity, not super critical in these. Enough to keep damper valuing covered through the whole fork travel and not too much that the oil hit the top cap under full compression to give hydraulic locking. Hence the reduced volume on refill to take account of residual quantity left inside when drained.
Heard the fish oil stories before, but don't recall reading definitive confirmation, sounds like it was quite smelly by all accounts.
I use specific fork/damper oil currently to n help with bush and stanchion friction reduction.

A good variety of pun available to the motorpike and sidecarp rider owner then :)
