    What fork oil/seals for '82 450TXZ?

    I'm buying new fork seals and fork oil but I don't have my manual with me at work. What weight should I use? Any particular brand?

    I'm getting the BikeMaster seals. From what I can tell it's pretty straightforward--you put them in, and they work.

    OEM seals are far and away the best -- order them from your favorite online or meatspace source for Suzuki bits.

    With that said, I have seen hints that some aftermarket seals are produced by the exact same suppliers -- for example, NOK supplied most seals for Suzuki, so if you can figure out who is selling NOK seals, you're golden. The manufacturer's name and other info will be molded into the seal in teensy-tiny letters, so let us know what your BikeMaster seals say.

      I'll let you know. As far as the oil, I was thinking 10W. Is that dumb?
