I'm restoring my dad's 1988 KDX 200 for my bro and I just replaced the fork seals, so I'm wondering what weight oil I should run.

I have a fresh bottle of BelRay 15W on the shelf that I'll gladly throw in unless there's a reason not to.

This bike will be for novice trail rides only.

Most bikes run 7w from the factory.

Jeff Fredette suggests 7.5w for those forks.
