The manual calls for 455ml of fork oil. It calls for 2w 35 oil? I understand the 2w but what does the 35 stand for?
I changed mine with 10w oil and drives like it did before I changed the oils.The manual calls for 455ml of fork oil. It calls for 2w 35 oil? I understand the 2w but what does the 35 stand for?
I use 2 quarts of oil per oil change and that puts it just at the top of the top line. I’ve noticed some owners manuals from some manufacturers stuff seems to get lost or mixed up in the translations.the later manuals call for 10W oil with a viscosity range of 35. 10W seems to make more sense than 2W but i don't think that the range is specified on the fork oils i've seen. Maybe in the spec sheets. Interesting to see that they specifiy 1.6 liters for oil changes in those. Use at your own risk....

Is the top line easily visible? Anyone know how far down it is (Air gap depth/height down to oil)? ThanksI changed mine with 10w oil and drives like it did before I changed the oils.

Racetech says 150mmI see what happened there…”top line” was a reference to engine oil…forget that. Question still stands does any know the FORK OIL air gap/depth to oil? Not sure how to go about inspecting it otherwise Thanks.
I think that refers to using their emulator valves, but it may work with stock valves too. The RE specs are just volume (455ml), as stated up at the beginning of the thread. I don't think there's a fill line.Racetech says 150mm
