15w oil in front end

[darrsi]

[size=1.35em]I found this table  https://transmoto.com.au/comparative-oil-weights-table/[/size]

[size=1.35em]it shows the viscosity of various fork oils.[/size]
[size=1.35em]you might be supprised at the viscosity of Silcolene rsf15 compared to Yamaha G15 which is Yamaha's 15W for oil.[/size]

[size=1.35em]I was surprised at how the new ISO standard is being misinterpreted, see below...[/size]


[size=1.45em]Oil Conversion Chart[/size]

[size=1.45em]SAE-to-ISO[/size]
[size=1.35em]


SAE            ISO/AW
10W            32
15W or 20W      46
20W            6830W            100[/size]

[size=1.35em]ISO and SAE are standardized specifications that define oil weight. This ensures that one brand's 30-weight oil is the same viscosity as another's.[/size]
[size=1.35em]This oil conversion chart is approximate.[/size]

[size=1.35em]I ended up going by the viscosity value and not what it says on the label.[/size][size=1.35em]the 15W  fork oil I ended up buying was the Rock Oil SVI 15 with a viscosity of 48 close to the Yamaha 15W of 47.3[/size]

Surprised?
Nearly just fell over!
Saturday mornings, eh?  :lol
