How to Choose Fork Oil Weight | What Weight Fork Oil Should I Use | Partzilla.com

In this video from Partzilla.com, John talks to you about how to choose the right fork oil for your motorcycle. But to understand how different fork oils impact your motorcycle, we’ll start by guiding you through what is going on in your fork.

The right motorcycle fork oil viscosity will vary depending on how and where you ride. The suspension oil viscosity index will give you clues about the weight of the oil and how it will behave across temperature ranges. Two oils, with the same weight but different viscosity indexes, will behave a little differently from each other at the beginning of the ride and then begin to differ substantially as you build heat into the fork.

If you’re moving from the factory recommendation on your fork oil, make small moves. Minor changes can have a big impact, and moving to an oil that’s far off from the manufacturer’s recommendation might not match the application for which the bike was intended.
