G-Man Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I'm putting in my new Race Tech 1.0kg springs and I'm undecided between 5wt. or 7.5wt. I weigh 215lbs. Probably using Honda oil(do they even make 7.5wt?) Opinions please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Involute Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I was very happy with 5WT and 1.1 Springs. You can mix 5 and 10 50/50 to get 7.5 if you want though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in PA Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I've got the 7.5 in my Hyperpro setup, I might drop down to 5 to get rid of that last little bit of harshness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I've got Ohlins springs (don't know how they compare to these) and 10w oil. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXTi Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I've got Ohlins springs (don't know how they compare to these) and 10w oil. Nice. I have the Ohlins 1.05's from Jaws that are about 100mm longer than stock. I'm running 10wt Silkolene "Race" fork oil and the combo works great.

G-Man Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 I've got Ohlins springs (don't know how they compare to these) and 10w oil. Nice. Thanks for the replies guys! I have heard that the standard for fork oils varies (Silkolene 10wt. isn't the same as say Bel-Ray 10wt. etc.) That is probably why I'm going with genuine Honda oil. Thanks for the tip Involute, I'll mix a 5 with a 10 and bam..... 7.5wt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
