Post by KDX Butterfly »

What brand and weight (5?) of fork oil would you ALL suggest I use on my inverted fork KDX 200? Fuzz ... I expect I would hear from you first?

Thanks!!!

I've used Mobil-1 ATF..as recommended to me by Jeremy Wilkey (MX-Tech). Granted..that specific req concerned RSU forks, but I figured it would work in USDs, too.

There's always RaceTech's $30/qt stuff. Don't know if they recommend US0,1,2, or 3 for the KYB sticks.

I just checked their site. They do not list a specific weight of their 'ultra slick' stuff for forks. Not my '99s anyway. Thought they might 'cuz they DO list specific weights for shocks.

They don't make a 7.5W in any case. You'd have to do your own mixing.
