myveonix Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 I have been using either Motul, BelRay, Maxima or Motorex fork oil for some time now. Don't know AMSOIL. Any reviews or opinions out there?
The MTBer Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 After my experience with Motul and my FOX shock, I would rather buy the R600 bottle. The Motul works good for a lower service, but it doesn't mix lekker with the damper...
GrahamS2 Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 I use Yamalube 5wt for my uppers. Almost identical properties to the sram stuff. R120 for a litre if I recall

droo Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 How do you know what to buy then? Genuine question A bunch of research. Here's a start though: http://mahonkin.com/~milktree/motorcycle/fork-oil.html http://www.peterverdone.com/wiki/index.php?title=Suspension_Fluid Also, anything marked HVI is not very good at lubricating and should only be used in sealed damper systems like RS Charger and Fox FIT.
