I like Dick
Thought I would ask those that have experimented with fork oil if they found something they preferred to the stock oil? Unlike some, I am pretty happy with the front end of my '09 T100 and there is some speculation that Triumph tweaked the calibration for '09 and maybe why it feels pretty good.
Some of my basic questions are:
- When do you guys find the oil to get contaminated enough to change it...about how many miles or months?
- Have you found a weight and brand of oil you preferred to the factory fork oil?
- I know some just pick some up from the local motorcycle shop but any other suggestions for an on line source?
- Last question is...any tips for getting the proper amount of oil back in the forks? I am likely going to remove my forks for this but I may suck it out for the first time as it won't be too badly contaminated with low miles...so replenishing back to a particular oil level versus a replacement volume of oil back in maybe the best method and advice would be appreciated.
Many Thanks.
