    I use 15w40 and ATF here.
    And a new set of Avons.

    Think it costed me like $5 for the 2 quarts.

    The ride quality really isn't that rough as everyone "said" it would be.
    It's very solid, but your average bump is easily managable.
    My bike isn't "jumping", like it used to be.


    It's MUCH better than my old setup.....stock fork fluid with 10 year old tires.

      We're concocting home brew for something that costs $1X, lasts 5 years, and probably lasted 20 years on the last change. On to the next thread . . . .

        Dpage..we arent concocting any kind of home brew..The formula is clearly ststed in an official Suzuki manual. Its a factory standard. And if you leave your fork oil in for 20 years your suspension isnt at its optimal performance. Just like anythimg else the oil will break down and loose its viscocsity.

        NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
