My 98 cr125 has a sort of thud feeling when landing that didn't used to seem to be there. Am I just going bigger? Any negatives to just going out on the clickers untill they are just short of the point to allow bottoming out?, is this an indication that the fork oil needs to be changed?
I am about due for a fork oil change. I was thinking, is transmission fluid a valid alternative to the more expensive fork oil? I understand the transmission fluid is like a 7 weight oil and fork oil is a 5 weight oil. Would this make the forks not compress down as fast as they should when taking up a bump. I did this on my older bike(93 kx125) with really leaky forks and just put the clickers out more and it seemed to work ok. Would this negate the performance on a 98cr125.
