Fork Oil

You won't need to change fork fluid with the synthetic fluid in place.

Anyone ever change shock oil? Is there a need to?

I have a sneaky feeling you cant because the shocks are a sealed unit (I think).

Will keep that in mind forsure Sean. Thanks.

this is slightly of topic but will the amount of oil used greatly effect the ride? My manual calls for 620 cc of oil. I have been using 600cc. Is there allot of difference in 20cc?

Less oil will make it softer, as the air volume above the oil increases it acts as a progressive spring. 20cc is OK unless the forks bottom with big bumps.

Has anyone tried Royal Purple Synthetic power steering fluid for fork oil ?

 

[one2dmax]

Should work just fine.
The Max-EZ fluid didn't have the Viscosity on the MSDS to compare with some of the other fluids but would bet it's going to be in the 10-15 range depending on the temperature.
