and go for the cheaper onesīoth will feel the same if viscosity will be the same.and by that i don't mean SAE grade! Or save money if you don't push your bike,highway cruising,city transportation etc. pushing the bike to it's limits most of the time So,go for the expensive ones if you really need them eg. The better they are=less damping changes through the ride and through fork service intervals=the better the fork oil is Oil Level - 107mm from the top (fork compressed, spring removed)Ĭlick to expand.all three manufactures have two product lines of fork oil,the cheap and the expensive ones.īase oil,antifoam/cleaning agents and viscosity index are some of fork oil characteristics. Triumph Tiger 955i, Recommended Fork Oil Grade -Kayaba G10, Oil Volume - 720cc (dry fill) there are other forums where this has been sorted out I'm still using ATF for 10 wt, and a 50/50 ATF with Marvel when I want 5 wt

I know modern design USDs are different, but thats how we used to tune forks in the old days. the quantity isn't important as long the air gap is right.

pouring x amount of cc's into the hole often does not do it, you need to measure the displacement. all you heard about KLRs instability on the highway and dived, etc. on the KLR its dramatic, more oil, less air, less dive, and most noticeable on the top third. any fork that is affected by the air column on top of the oil responds changes in level. Anti-foam - Eliminates foaming and air entrainment for consistent damping."Raising the oil level only effects the last third of travel.Viscosity stability - Viscosity stability provides long lasting and consistent performance and response, even as the suspension heats up.Minimized friction - Bel-Ray friction modifiers increase lubricity for minimum "stiction" and for more responsive and better handling suspension over irregular terrain.Superior anti-wear - Unique Bel-Ray anti-wear chemistry greatly reduces stiction, friction and wear for extended suspension tubes and sliders life and more responsive and reliable performance.For fine tuning damping characteristics all grades of Bel-Ray High Performance Fork Oil may be blended with each other.

Follow the fork manufacturer's recommendation for grade selection.

Recommended for all standard and cartridge type motorcycle fork suspensions on street and off-road motorcycles, ATVs and all other high performance applications.

Bel-Ray High Performance Fork Oil is available in seven viscosity grades 2.5W, 5W, 7W, 10W, 15W, 20W and 30W. Through the use of carefully selected high viscosity base oils, stiction and fade are reduced providing smooth operation over a wide temperature range. Bel-Ray High Performance Fork Oil is formulated for use in all suspension forks including those using cartridge and dual-chamber systems.
