FORK OIL CHANGE ON LIFAN GY-5

rikosaur · 05-01-2011, 08:29 AM

:? Hello!, Has anyone changed the fork oil on a 200CC LIFAN GY-5 or similar HONDOID with USD FORKS? This would make a great tech HOW-TO OR STICKY for all CHINA RIDERS! At the very least, how about the quantity of fork oil or ATF needed per fork??? PICTURES WOULD BE GREAT!!! THANKS, SINCERELY, RICK SAVIDGE. :?

I did mine on both the hondanoid and Q.
All I did was drop them out, flip them over and pour the oil out into a mechanics measuring cup. Then replaced the volume oil I poured out with some new, good 10W fork oil. (I rounded up.)
The Hondanoid worked out REALLY well.

The Q still seems like it's low. Gonna add another 50 cc's when I get around to it.

The PP400 could very much use new and better fork oil in it's USD also. Another good project for whoever the new owner will be... 8)

The month I plan to install new oil seals, dust wipers, and fork oil in my Zong's USD forks. I will post a thread after I complete the job.
