[QUOTE="Jeff Howe, post: 196830, member: 18096"] Stephen Berschied was running a 01 RM125 to win his D23 HS 200A title, he had Mobil ATF in the forks as well. I have setup a lot of guys with TC forks using it. BUT, at the end of the season when it was colder, Stephen preferred the 5wt blend we use. Alot of my customers finished in the top 5 of their classes and most if not all of them were using Mobil ATF in the forks, whether Showa or KYB. Of late, I have been using more 5wt in the cartridge of the TC forks, but I still prefer to use the ATF in the outer chamber. I can run a little lower oil height(by volume) and get a better effect from the stock oil lock system. In this area, being that Mobil is cheaper, it can save you some money and not to mention that it works really well there. This is one of the beauties of the TC Showa. You CAN run different viscosities to seperate damping and bottoming control. Can't do that anywhere else. Of course, with a bumper fork it don't matter, but when using a oil lock system it can matter. I can't imagine using a 2.5wt on the oil lock systems of the TC Showa. It really kicks butt in the mini forks. Forgive my plugging of the riders and their accomplishments but all of the guys I sponsored over the last 2 years were picked as midpack riders 2 years ago, with the exception of Frank Jackson who has been a top 5 guy. I'm happy to have been a part of their programs and help them work their way up by providing suspension setup that gives them the control to exploit their true abilities. I don't like to grab the top guys and use them as bill boards. I like to select riders that show potential and work with them to give them whats most important on the track. Mobil ATF has been a part of that over the last 3 years now. So finally, all the work paid off for me in that respect. And, I need to give credit where credit is due, so I have to thank Jeremy for introducing me to the use of the Mobil several years ago. Maybe he should have kept his mouth shut huh? [/QUOTE]
