Front shocks
Hi, im going to replace CBR600F2 front fork oil. I have few questions:
1) The specific oil amount i need to pour in to each fork ? ( my manual doesn't mention this ) 2) Best front fork oil brand ? 3) Is it ok to put ATF oil to the front fork ? |
Amount is 508cc and level is 118mm from top , as regards ATF think the jury is out on that one:icon_wink:

Yup, 91-93 F2's are 508cc and 118mm from top of tube.
I personally would not use ATF. The manual calls for Honda SS-8 fluid. It's a 10w fork oil, so you could substitute any other 10w fork oil. As always, you can adjust the oil weight and level to suit your weight and riding style too. |
Brand of oil doesn't really matter that much. Maxima is good, if you can get it where you are. I use 10w, but you could use 5w or even 15w if you want to play with the dampening a bit. The best thing you can do is get the correct springs for your weight.
I remember reading that there some use of atf in a front end, but i can't remember which bike it was. Fork oil is too available and cheap to use anything else, so why not. |
