Which fork oil to use.

(1/2) > >>

basketcase:
Can anyone shed some light on which grade of fork oil to use in my K3, and how much? At the moment they are a bit soft with too much `give`. I`ve not touched them...ever so I`m assuming that they are due an oil change.
Cheers basketcase.

Wow!!!! Lots of reading here. Thanks Den, will read through some and try a fix this weekend.

Spitfire:
You are very welcome, it was interesting as I have a pile of service sheets issued by Shell in the 70's and thought I had one for the CB550 but it was a 400/500 sheet, still interesting to look at though.


Cheers

Hi, I use ATF or AQF in both the K3 and K0 and it gives a good combination of damping and feedback. The 550's I have are never thrashed so I dont need the kind of handling of an R1
