Belray brand 5 weight fork oil, or another quality brand of fork oil. -
So the book says 10 wt and I've heard of riders going up to 15 for "improved damping." What's your take on the 5 wt John?Good is not cheap, cheap is not good.Comment

Ya know, I can't remember what they say the first thing to go is.Comment

NAPA hydraulic jack oil is 10-weight oil and is one heck of a lot cheaper than packaged fork oil.
