Fork Oil, What Weight Do You Use?
I am getting ready to change out my fork oil but the hold up is "What weight to use" and "What brand to use"? The MoCo has type "E" which is about a 10 wt. and SE at 15 wt. and SE Heavy at 20 wt. There is also Belray at 10 and 15 wt. Do you use just one weight or mix to make your own blend?

I used the Screaming Eagle fork oil, this time around, real nice rebound. Holds up in corners nice.
|
I had some 20w left over and mixed it 50/50 with HD 15w. Seems to be good so far. About 500 miles on it. When the temps warm up if I'm not happy I will go to all 20w.

I used SE heavy oil...worked great
|
I used amsoil medium weight in my 01.Good results,work's the same in winter,and the hot of summer.
|
I chose Lucas or other. I run Amsoil 5wt due to the Ricor Intiminators and that's what they suggested.
|
Soos I really like the 15w. Huge improvement over the stock E oil. Some like the 50/50 mix but I think the 15w is just fine.
|
Used the SE Heavy. Firmed up the ride but didn't make it to stiff.
|
i'm using the screamin eagle heavy. it isn't harsh riding at all, and i no longer have that squishy feeling in the front end, and the biggest bonus for me was my bike doesn't dive when coming to a stop. it's a great improvement over stock.

Why does it say not for street use on the back of SE Heavy Fork Oil. Scary? I jsut put it in mine this weekend because the HD desk jockey said that is all they use. He said they have a heavier one but do not use it. After looking here I think what he gave me is the heaviest.
