Fork Maintenance
#8
I've heard back from K-Tech they also recon that 11.0N would be too much (thanks SLG), so it looks like I'll be going with their 10.0N linear spring.

I'm leaning towards 7.5w oil rather than 5w as I think slightly heavier oil would be better suited for a heavier rider, or is this mistaken thinking? K-Tech supply Motul fork oil, will I be alright with this if I end up ordering everything (springs / seals / bushes) from them?

Has anyone got any experience of K-Tech's parts (seals and bushes) vs OEM parts, haven't yet priced these up so not sure what the price difference will be or if the quality is any different?

I'm looking at following the Haynes manual for disassembly / reassembly if anyone has any addendums to the information or alternative guides I'd appreciate the info (i.e. Mr Haynes tells you to remove the carbs for a valve check when you don't have to).


/Update - Chris from K-Tech is recommending 10w oil for standard internals.
