  1. Yes , dont use autosol ; you will scratch the be-jaysus out of them

    Autosol has a fine grit in it

    The lint free cloth is used to prevent scratching , only use a lint free cloth or you will get alot of micro-scratches resulting in hazing on the pipe work

  2. very good to know! thanks
     
  3. Going to get the Showa fork seals and oil done, I am thinking Motul 10w
     
  4. I would need to check my owner’s manual in the morning now but I have in the back of my mind the OE fork oil is 7.5w. If I understand the fork operation correctly, going to 10w will simply slow the fork action down. The only recent experience of changing front fork action I have is with the girlfriend’s Diavel and that went from 7.5w to 5w. Andy
