Damper oil is traditionally a fairly light grade of straight mineral oil; SAE 20 or 30 is typical but people have their preferences and sometimes with good reason and I have heard of all manner of oils being used from auto transmission fluid to engine oil.
Your bike specs should tell you what oil and how much is recommended for your bike or any motorcycle parts department or repair shop.
When reassembling the forks on a motorbike the main spring and all other internal components should be in the fork tubes then add the oil, as to weight I assume you mean fork oil viscosity. Fork oil for general use is usually 5w or 10w but you need to look up the specific oil type for your bike, also the capacity is unique to each bike but you can measure the oil by pouring the required amount into the upright tubes make sure that the levels are the same, use a straightened wire coat hanger and measure the level in each fork so that any differences are reduced so as to not affect the safe handling of the motorbike as uneven forks can be very dangerous.
Look on youtube to find videos of fork oil change etc.
hi, with forks removed from bike with spring inserted and fork stancion down all the way fill with oil up to 110mm below the rim, thus 110mm air gap, hope this helps and thanks for using fixya paul
fork oil type -fork oil#10, oil capacity each leg 388 ml for E-01,28 33 models and 392 ml for the other models standard oil level 142mm for E-01,03,28,33 138mm for the other models
Get the fork oil from the Kawasaki dealer and he will give you the right oil and tell you how much is needed. The gearbox oil is 10w40, any major brand is fine. I think your bike has a oil dipstick? If not then the oil capacity should be on the casing by the oil fill. Worst case, ask the dealer while you are there!
Best wishes and I hope this helps.
i conacted a friend of min that works on honda bikes he stated the fork is identical to the 250cc class rebel in diamenter and will hold aproximatley 4 to 4.5ounces fork oil. hope this helps and good luck!
