We just did the seals on the forks, but unfortunately we didn't take a real hard look at the fork oil we had, and it was 15wt. Needless to say, the front suspension is HARD!
1st, is there an easy way to get that oil out?
2nd, I'm 170lbs, and anyone have any recommendations as far as fork oil weight? I'm an all around rider, hills, trails, MX, etc. Average riding, not crazy balls to walls.
3rd, the manual says that the fork capacity is 17 ounces. A buddy of mine said that sounded like too much. I called the Honda dealer and they confirmed 17 ounces. Do I want to vary the amount of oil depending on my riding style?
Thanks in advance! I hope to contribute to this site someday with the knowledge that I gain here!
