Fork Seal Brand
Hey everyone. I'm planning on replacing my fork seals/dust seals, and oil soon but wanted to check and see if anyone has any advice on what brand to go with. I run OEM on most everything I do but with the aftermarket world being what it is these days there's literally dozens of options out there and I wanted to make sure that I don't pass up a better product just because I didn't know about it. Same question goes for oil. Any recommendations on a certain brand over another?
Thanks guys,
Mark

From what I've read always go with OEM with fork seals. Oil? Fork oil or engine oil. Call one of the pros that rebuild suspensions and ask them. Any top brand name should be good enough for an old F2. I used Bel-Ray, but I forget what weight it was. Engine oil I use Rotella synthetic for diesal engine. Lots of bikers do.

Best way to roll on the seals is OEM. You won't get a break on the price with
after-market and the technology is pretty standard. Oil is all about personal
opinion, the ones designed for bikes are all good. Just steer clear of anything with teflon, etc. additives. The bike uses a wet-clutch and it will cause slippage.

General consensus is exactly what I expected. OEM. Totally cool with that answer. Thanks guys
