How to Choose Fork Oil Weight | What Weight Fork Oil Should I Use | Partzilla.com

[@67daltonknox]

I bought a new 2003 V-Strom. Impossible to get a test ride, I was relying on magazine reviews. It was initially a love/hate deal. It made me realize that journalists are lying SOBs. One of the many shortcomings was the forks - undersprung and overdamped. Every bump in the road bashed into the frame, but when I hit the brakes hard, it dived so hard that it yanked the bars out of my hands. The cure was Progressive Suspension springs and switching from 15 to 5 weight fork oil. Don't rely on manufacturers to get it right.

W is for viscocity during the winter. You can google for at what temperature the manufacturer tested.

[@manakara9821]

The W is not weight, it is winter. The measured flow of the oil running down a slope at a certain temperature. It is measured cold not hot at normal operating temps. I think at 40f.

[@kiryllis5823]

40 Celsius, but otherwise all correct

[@toddboden972]

All I've been reading for a Honda grom is to change from stock oil to 20w. Not hearing any issue with handling or any problems. Hondas 5w is definitely too thin.

[@EazyMac]

Very informative video! I'm about to do a front fork rebuild for the first time and I've been researching which fork oil to get. This helps a lot!

[@PartzillaParts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@merrillclark5279]

Great video and explanation of fork oils and their inherent inconsistencies and how they relate to a viscosity index. I'll be checking VI online and hopefully I'll have answer as to which is the best fork oil for my 96 Road King. I learned some good stuff today. Thanks.

[@PartzillaParts]

Glad it added some clarity!

Best fork oil for hero 100 cc bike ..15w or 20w??

[@MagnumMuscle1000]

Dampen=make wet Damp=reduce oscillations A fork dampens oscillations. A dampener makes something wet.

[@kkuhn]

Damps oscillations

[@dylancrow7919]

You messed up in your own correction.

[@gaga0084]

When I bought OEM forks form you, those comes with the oil, ready to install?

[@nickburkard6500]

How much would I put in for a cr250 1994

[@FoodStreetRider]

I am from Pakistan and ride 150cc Suzuki Bike, company writes in their manual that use G-10 OIL for fork. Problem is that company dont sells the oil nor they have, so we in pakistan got SAE 10 is that same as G-10 ?

[@farrukhhasan7751]

Use automatic transmission oil. Rs. 1200 per liter.

[@FoodStreetRider]

@@farrukhhasan7751 no, i got ABRO shock absorber oil and Alhamdulillah it worked very well, i would say excellent

thank you very much learn something new again:-)

[@michaellunet5996]

When should fork oil be changed.

[@W.O.C.]

Every 30-40 hours is ideal, but the longer you wait, the worse your oil gets, so more wear. 30-40 hours is like the happy medium though, so your suspension won't really wear.

[@W.O.C.]

@June@97 yeah. 30-40 is good.

[@46Bax]

​@@W.O.C.bro that's absolutely crazy, that's literally insane. pretty sure it's good for 5-10k km's

[@W.O.C.]

@@46Bax you mean like 5 to 10 kilometers? Cause I measure wear time in hours on my bike also I race on a track. Whoops meant 5k to 10k.

[@snainshah1996]

Sir, kindly tell me iso 32 hydralic oil is suitable for yamaha ybr forks

[@the_eskimo93]

no

[@chromevanadium5825]

For those, who need such videos the best oil is the one that is suggested by a service manual of a specific bike. That's all they have to know.

[@MoswenMedia]

Kind of gate keeperish isn't that? I'm doing my fork seals and would like to know which viscosity would match my weight the best since I'm a smaller guy.

[@elobiretv]

Yeah don't bother learning so you can pick the right one for you, just go with whatever the manufacturer decided to put in for a skinny 165kg rider...

[@ridinghightidesindia6847]

Not an accurate method, VI depends on quality of base stock and additive.

[@ProgressTanaka]

Thanks

[@lifeandliving_01]

very good sir.

[@SluiceBoxDon]

Ole or oil?

[@bmxtryhard]

always ole

Hi 100kls rides here any suggestion on what fork oil to pick. For Honda Adv 150. Thanks

[@thewrongbike7709]

We need to stop saying "weight". W does not mean "weight". It means "winter" I.e. the viscosity when the weather gets cold.

[@Ghryst]

my manufacturer has no guidance on fork oil weight, this video is of absolutely no help to me. but if the manufacturer did have a guidance, then this video would be of absolutely no help to me. aka: this video is useless

Better to talk about cst values 🙄 this was just stupid

[@Zyr-ut9jn]

He’s a sales man, he’s selling you fork oil

[@PederKnudsen-e1s]

OIL-WEIGHT What the f... is he talking about. ??? The "W" stands for WINTER, and could be translated to cold oil. So if I were to use a video on fork oil, look for Dave Moss instead.

[@cinnreds18]

What the F….. are you talking about? weight refers to the oil's viscosity, which is a fluid's resistance to flow. Oil weight is determined based on the oil's flow at a standard operating temperature of 100 °C He’s not talking about winter rating lol as in the case of 5w30. These are straight 5 weight fork oils and yes the term weight is used for viscosity measurement. If you’re gonna be a wise ass be good at it.
