Fork Oil

jandreu · 08-11-2011, 05:33 PM

Planning to spend the weekend doing maintenance on the Nomad. Swing arm, oil change, brake fluid change [front and back] and tighten up the neck bearing. 07 with 8K on it, no issues.

I would like to stiffen up the front forks a little and as I'll be most of the way there doing the neck bearing torque figured I'd change the fork oil also.

What is everyones experience with the fork oil weight? What do you recommend to make the front end a little less mushy?

Thanks,
