    fork oil replacement

    I just changed the seals on my 1991 gsxg1100 and need to know the quanity of fork oil to put back in. Also what type of oil do you guys recommend.

    I can't help you with the quantity or weight, spring for the Clymer manual. But, for the oil, I use Mobil 1 motor oil. I've heard all the yada yada about real fork oil and suspension fluid and used to use Bel-Ray fork oil, but, I can't tell the difference between fork oil and motor oil. So I use the cheap stuff and change it every year. I used ATF in an old Honda's fork, that's what the manual called for.

      A clymer manual would be great but they didn't put out any publications for the GSX1100G models from 1991-1994.

        Can't help with the quantity, but I just put in Bel-Ray 10wt in my 1100E and so far I love it.

          I had 15W put in when they did my seals and Progressive springs. I don't know what made the most diff.
          Different weight oil, new seals, or new springs. 8O 8) :twisted:

            Found this link: http://www.partspartners.com/html/gsx1100.html

            It says 406cc's for your bike (91 GSX1100G = yearcode M).
