BMW spec fork oil for the R100 is 10W. Could be they spec the same through out the range but ..........then again we are talking BMW here!

Also I believe that the oil in your legs (you really should stop drinking the stuff) does NOT do any damping function. THEREFORE it is only there to lubricate so use anything you,ve got in the garage.

Yup! There's fork oil damping going on in there ...
I rode with them dry for a few months after both of the seals broke (ice on the forks) - no change in handling.

Hedgehog,
Why do you have a picture of a Rook on your posts? Shouldn't it be a..........HEDGEHOG?????
Anyroadup, surely you mean :- "nope no damping going on in there" if there was no difference in handling when dry. The telelever spring & damping is ALL taken care of by the shock absorber not the fork legs.
