g/s fork oil

[cookie]

what weight fork oil is best for a mono G/S?

i looked in two manuals, and all i get is a list of, probably obsolete/obscure oils. i have some 10/15w kicking about, so it's probably not that

i'm thinking 5/10w

TIA

10/15W is what I used to put into the oem forks.

Oh no!

Don't tell them there is oil in the forks!

I always used 7.5w in my g/s's

The weight on the package doesnt mean much, if any of the dozen or so comparison charts you will find on Google are half correct.

I use 7 weight Maxima full synthetic fork oil in the WP shocked G/S.
It is actually 7 wt when hot which seems to match the shock well.

It also gives a pleasing reduction in stiction.

Being a synthetic it is naturally multigrade so it stays in grade better and lasts longer than dino so it doesnt cost much more in the long run.

I put it in the Koni equiped R75/7 too , but not as good, probably try the 5 wt Maxima next time, but after 90,000km the Konis could probably do with a rebuild too.
