nsr 250 r2j forks

Tue Aug 31, 2010 8:51 pm » Post: #1 » Download Post

i just got my fork seals done by a local bike garage.

the bike does not handle well anymore it felt better with the leaking fork seals.

the fork oil used was motul 10w semi synthetic fork oil (429ml in each fork).

the fork seem very soft now.

should i have used a different oil?????

any ideas please???

i weigh 75kg so i would have thought 10w would be fine.

i have another set of forks so i might try swapping the fork internals.

i can also make sure that the mechanic put in the correct amount of oil while changing the internals.
