Rather bemusing... For fork oil change, The Haynes manual says refer to chapter 1, chapter 1 says refer to chapter 6. But I guess you just miss out some (unknown) steps although I have had bad experiences with Haynes as the odd thing gets left out or wrong order
Oh,and what will 15w give me over 5w. My commute is through B roads and country lanes, if that matters. My firms don't bottom out and roads are very uneven and potty and scarred tarmac, so, should I sick with 5w. The fork oil hasn't been changed in 17k according to previous owner
