The forks on my zx4 feel like somone's put in golden syrup instead of oil,
Does anyone know how much & what type of oil to use?
It's an F reg 89 ZX4 with RWU forks not a ZXR just to be sure.
Thanks.

If standard then that does sound wrong !
But if they have been modded they might have cartridges inside and that does make them feel very stiff by comparison.
I can get you the info about oil type and quantity but it will be some time after the 4th of Jan. If your in a rush drop zimm a pm as he own's one of these all be it his now has ZXR400H USD's on it IIRC
MM!

430ml of 5wt oil seems about right from memory ...
give alf england motorcycles in bedworth a ring, they did mine and had the specs to hand.

Sorted now, the bike hadn't been used for a while and after a quick ride it's ok.
