fork oil

[JOHN SOLIDAY]

I've always used a "lighter" oil in the forks myself.  I don't weigh much at 145lbs give or take but I've ran something between 10 and 15 for years and it works much better than 20+.

I retained my stock springs when I installed the emulators and found it worked great for me since I rarely have a passenger. Now that there is 25 lbs less of me than there was at the Durango rally, it's even better. If I were you Paul H. I would consider going back to the stock springs and a 12.5wt oil mixture and I think you'd be surprised at how much better it was. Charles S.
