fork oil weight?
hi, looked in the manual section and it says i should use 5w fork oil in my zxr400h2 forks but im unsure as to whether this is too light as would expect to be putting 10w in it? Any advice as which is best to use would be great. Thanks

I 'think' that was without the spring; but I didn't do that original setup; but I'm pretty sure that's how it was done!zimm wrote:my H1 forks are setup as per the manual and work fine for me .. but im a lightweight.
