Motor oil for fork oil?

[Octain]

Dealership I was in looking at the Bell Ray stuff must have really been price gouging then at $16+!!!!!

"Cycle Gear" in my area gets 19.99. But then again their sparkplugs list at 12.99. The Honda dealer is about the same.
Insane!
The last "batch" of two stroke oil I purchased from a seller on ebay, lol.
Never looked for fork oil, but I will.

I'm with you. ATF and oil.. Cheap is good!

I agree Todd..can make a gallon for real cheap. And when have 6 bikes its a bargain. Good enough for them as far as the service manual goes is good enough for me too

I too have shamelessly used ATF and Motor Oil.

Here's a simple blending calculator.

Really seat of the pants stuff, but a starting point to work from and means you won't be all over the place with guesswork.

I use forks oil,
My modded 1000 have gsxr fork and the gs1000l have the 1000c fork, both with fork oil.
I can't remember the grade.

Cast my vote for real fork oil.

With the cash I spend on tires, gas, oil, and parts, saving $5 or $10 on home-brewed fork oil is just plain laughable.
