[QUOTE="ShawnMc, post: 773413, member: 52595"] Ive been running the M1 ATF in my fork for quite a while . Ive noticed that heavier oils "cling" to the fork tube harder and the seals dont seem to wipe them 100% clean. But that said, stiction is almost zero. I believe the heavier oil lubes the seals better and allows them to slide on the tubes with less friction killing the stiction. I experimented with some very different oils in the outer chambers (showa on an 03 CRF). At one point I was running 0-20 wt M1 engine oil. I can honestly say, zero sticktion. None. The seals left a smeary look. The fork tubes didnt attract dirt, but they werent dry either. The motor oil did come out dirty though after a relatively short period (10 hours of moto/practice/trail) Since going to the ATF, Ive notice how much cleaner things come apart also. Even after flushing the fork itself, that stuff is still clean too. Amazing. Prior to my experiment and really the cause of my experimenting I was running RaceTech 01 @ 100 bucks a gallon. Won't be doing that twice, I can tell ya that. Ive also heard its nothing more than rebottled Motorex. I dont have anything bad to say about the RaceTech01 other than it didnt perform to its price tag @ $25 per quart. For 9 bucks, Id probably still be running it. [/QUOTE]
