I have a 2001 Suzuki vz800 marauder. I'm doing the front fork seals but I dont know exactly what weight I need to put in the fork. Some say 10w and some say 30w. Can you please help
Hi, all model VS 800 from1992-2000 take the same amount of oil in the front forks, using 10 weight fork oil measure into a clean measuring device or mark the side of the oil bottle 413 mls, pour this caerfully into 1 fork, and the same amount into the other fork, 413/413 cm (3)
A wobble that appears when slowing down is many times just low tire pressure. Check the front tire pressure should be 32-35 pds. Another thing that can cause a wobble is worn or loosely adjusted fork frame neck bearings(steering stem bearings). Disassemble around the handlebars down to the frame neck till you get the upper triple clamp off or can reach the adjuster nut , just underneath on top of the frame neck enough to tighten the steering stem bearings. You will need a shock adjusting tool (curved end with a single tooth) Comes standard in all Honda tool kits). Next, put a jack under the motor to lift the front wheel . Carefully wiggle the front wheel to see if you have a bad wheel bearing. If you do not have fork oil in your forks, you could possibly damage the chrome tubes. No oil would mean the forks would not go up and down smoothly. Do not add oil to your forks. Do not over fill your forks with oil. If you are not sure how much oil is in them, drain them and refill them with the correct amount. If you over fill the forks and drive the bike you will destroy the fork tubes.

NOTE:
Refill front fork oil up to the top of the outer tube so that bubbles
are visible while bleeding air.

tube again. Move the outer tube up and down several strokes
until no more bubbles come out from the oil.
• Keep the front fork vertically and wait 5 – 6 minutes.

* Always keep oil level over the cartridge top end, or air may
enter the cartridge during this procedure.

special tool.

When adjusting the fork oil level, compress the outer tube fully
