i am going to be taking the forks apart and re doing them soon, my manual says to use suzuki ss5 fluid...is that a 5 weight fluid? any recomendations of a brand?
Just hit up a motorcycle shop and buy proper suspension fluid in 5wt. the shops typically only carry 1 brand so your usualy stuck with what they carry. If you want the same performance in your forks then stick with the 5wt. if you want them stiffer go with 7.5 or squishyer go with lighter... More bottoming resistance slightly more fluid...Whatever the viscosity of ATF is its not likely to be the same as was in there. I had thought ATF was 7.5wt but don't know for sure. It sure seems lighter than any 15wt oil...
