Anyone have new info on aftermarket fork springs ?

Just a quick note of thanks to CSC fork oil change tutorial and Spud.
It goes well when following directions; I think I put springs back rightside down?
Especially pleased with Spuds recommended 10wt oil, of Mobil 1 ATF syn.

Thanks for your report and the kind words.

Just a question reviving an old post.... would changing the stock oil be a bad idea for me, as I weigh 165, but occasionally ride 2up. Also, would the Mobil 1 ATF or the lighter Valvoline ATF be better? Lastly, after reading this thread and tutorial, would I remove the spring and pump the forks until 330ml comes out, or it's empty? If i don't get 330ml's out, I would just replace with the amount removed.

Ive not done fork oil before.

Thanks all!

I believe changing your fork oil would be a good idea. I recommend the heavier, Mobil1 Synthetic ATF.

I suggest you remove the spring and pump the forks to remove all the old fork oil. After removing all the old fork oil, I recommend you fill each fork with 330 ml of new fork oil.

The job isn't hard, and I'm sure you will be glad with the results.

I haven't heard any updates, but I might call CSC and ask about it.
