Sir nwf. DO NOT USE BRAKE FLUID on front forks. Dili gyud na cya advisable Sir.

Fork Oil is the best gyud but medyo mahal na. Naa man available na SAE 10 fork oil nga not really branded in some MC stores. But for short travel forks such as those found in underbones, i would suggest SAE 15 to SAE 20 (Mao na ila tawagon ug 15wt and 20wt oil in some packaging. Viscosity index na niya Sir grapler). Naka palit ko before sa RMO didto sa Canduman (in front of Shell station) 10wt to cya. Ok kaayo for dirt bike susspension.

Sir JVille says dont use ATF cuz dali mo deteriorate. He may have a point. But from my experience lang, I used ATF (equivalent to SAE 23 viscosity na cya usually) for more than ten years on 5 different dual sport bikes and never had a problem. Maybe ang mga ATF karon have different composition.

Higher viscosity will mean mas gahi imong forks. Lower viscosity will make it softer. Trial and error na cya Sir grapler, to get what you feel is right. Akong mga mc puros long travel suspension so akong favorite is SAE 5 gyud.

Maybe ATF is not that bad. ako man gud front fork dali ra kaayo mausab ang bounce bisag walay leak.. and my friends are blaming it on the ATF.. mao na i recommend Fork oil jud.

pag sure mo anang replace bruh.. kay mahal2 jud na inyong suggestion.. heheheh

sa underbone.. dali raman ma overhaul ang front shocks.. unlike sa rear shocks kay replace najud ta..

sa akong experience.. as long as walay garas imung inner tube.. ug wala siya ma bawg.. pwede rana nato epa overhaul.. palit lang ta oil seal ug fork oil.. ayaw ang ATF kay dali ra mo deteriorate then makagaras sad sa inner tube..

if bati ang untol.. maybe the oil in your front shocks just needs replacement. overhaul lang sa na basta walay damage imung shocks..

hehe based on experience raman ni bruh... Kun naay budget ug akoy pa husgahon ilis nalang jud... Kabalo naka pinoy very resourceful repair2 lang.. hehehe

[jz_fox]

change fork oil raman na TS...sayon raman kaau na...kaya ra DIY..akoa gani kada tuig magchange fork oil ko...
ang hasol lang magtimpla timpla sa iyang bounce, kay magdepende man na sa gidaghanan sa fork oil..kng subra mogahi ang bounce, kng gamay ra humok kaau ang bounce...naa ra nmo unsa imong timplada..

mga klase sa oil gamiton :
ATF
Brake fluid
Fork Oil

tanan ana pwede pro nay bati performance naa pud nindot, again depende sa imo timplada..
Apil pud d i ang viscosity sa fork oil gamiton nmo, again depende sa imo timplada ra jud kng asa nindot pra nmo..

ayaw tuo anang palit bag-o, kasayang.

pila man ang standard sa timpla sa oil boss? xrm ako motor..tanx

correct ka sir, not advisable siya but mowork ra man...part ra to sa akong DIY sauna since naa man daghan subra brake fluid..
lisod kaau pangita fork oil dri nga different viscosity..kng naa mahal kaau, sakit kaau paliton pang trial and error..

wala raba ko kabalo boss, trial and error ka ana..kng wa ko nasayup murag around 150-200ml tingali, murag mao na akong nabasahan sa MCP... isukod daw iyang used oil inig habwa/change fork oil nmo..

kay naa man sa tindahan fork oil green ang botelya gamay murag 200ml tingali na, around 50 pesos. duha ka botelya paliton pra sa XRM for both tube..
