Half way down this page: Suspension Fluid - Pvdwiki is a table showing the Cst values of a whole bunch of suspension fluids
I had it suggested to me that Yamalube fork oil is Silkolene in disguise. Is there any truth in this?
If you have the stock valving you could go up to 7W. 10W might still be ok and 5W might not make a big difference.My roads are generally bumpy nowdays so going with 5W I think.
Ohlins say 145mm level, should I stick with that?
Once the forks are back on the bike, can I add/remove oil myself?
How much oil is required for the job?
as we've said before going by oil W is a misnomer as manufacturers weight ratings vary even between their own oil ranges.
Silkolene don't have a 7W.
Go with the 5W Silkolene, if that is what your fitter sells. You can add by cc's (volume) if you need to raise the oil level. Just add the same amount to each leg, say 5cc at a time, then ride and see the effect.
1 litre is more than enough for both legs.
