If you are rebuilding your Forks, I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND replacing the fluid with Synthetic (last Longer) and is cleaner for the internal Valves... Viscosity will fine tune your suspension. you need to take into consideration your location, your riding weight and riding habits... The lower the number the more action, the Higher the number, the slower the response and harder ride but when you take into consideration Weight and Normal Ambient Temperatures... You need to dial in your own number...

The service manual says to add 7 ounces of Type "B" oil to the "dry" stock tubes. I'd probably try 7 ounces of PJ1 30 weight oil in that machine to start with. Then, you may have to adjust the quantity and oil weight to get the ride you want. From my past experiences with these types of machines, the biggest problem you're going to have is lightness in the front end. They will "wheelie" very easily and may even "hop", front wheel bouncing, when going down the road in extreme cases. It may turn out that you need more damping action in which I'd try the "wet" quantity of 6 1/2 ounces of 20 weight oil. The "wet" or "dry" quantity means that if you took the fork tubes apart and all the oil is out of them, they're considered "dry". A simple drain and refill is considered a "wet" oil change. I think Honda actually offers a 25 weight oil. I've seen fork oil weights available down to 5 weight. You'll just have try it and see what it does.

Good Luck

I'm sorry but I don't have the specs on the quantity and type of fork oil for your year and model bike. I work on the older bikes that the dealers will no longer service. But, I can describe the difference between the "wet" and "dry" conditions of the fork assembly. If you take the front forks apart, clean them out, and put them back together with no oil in them, they are considered "dry". For a simple drain and refill type oil change on them where you don't get all the oil out of them, they are considered "wet". I hope this helps, You can call you local dealer's service department and they should tell you the quantity and viscosity of the oil that goes in the front forks on your machine. They'll tell you something like 6 ounces of "Type E" oil, for example. Harley-Davidson uses these types of specs to describe their oils. If you go to a website for fork oil, like PJ1, they may give a cross reference or equivalency chart for converting H-D "Type E" to their oil. I think that would be their 30 weight oil. If the front end seems too "stiff" with 30 weight, you can drop down to 20 weight. I think Honda makes a 25 weight but not sure. Your Harley won't mind the Honda oil. BG.

The best way,is to drain a fork leg into a container, and measure the amount. however if you cant do that, start of with about 100ml in each leg, test them out, if to soft, you can always add a little more oil. from memory, a 250ml bottle of fork oil was enough to do both legs on most bikes.

you are the one to decide.It depends upon the weight of the user,becoz when you put too much oil in it but the user is lightweight the shock will be hard,but when you put just an small amount in it but the user is heavy .,the shock will be not good and the play of the fork might reach the limit above it and may cause damage of the said fork when it will be punch to the rod.

oil: silkolene medium fork oil
quanity: 280mls each leg
