Hi all ! Nowadays I ride two up most of the time. Don't do a lot of knee dragging, but do like going semi fast though corners. I have progressive fork springs. What weight fork oil should I use ? I have to change my fork seals this winter. I have 10wt in them now. Thinking of going back to 5 for a little more compliant ride. Thoughts ?

Amigo, 20 or perhaps 15 should be good for you guys riding two up, IMHO.
I run 15, I Hoon a lot, and I weigh about what you guys do together. Works real good for me! -
Fred I think 5w would be toooo light.
Iβm using 7w for two up and itβs still got enuff Cush without too much give πComment

It originally had 5 wt. in it. At the time I changed the springs, all the go fast guys were going to 10 wt. Right off I didn't like the harshness. I must have really hated it cuz looking in the oil cabinet I just found two brand new bottles of 5 wt. I must have bought to switch it back. I think I'm going to give the 5 wt. a try again and see how it goes. It's not that hard to switch to something heavier later.Comment

Finally got the bike out for a ride today. What I ended up doing was mixing 5 and 10 weight oil together so I should have something like 7.5 weight. Was really pleased with the lack of harshness. So far haven't noticed any wallowing in the corners. I'll be able to tell better in West by god Virginia πComment
