Hi lads! I installed the Ricor Intiminators about 4 years ago, together with their 5w oil. I can't know for sure, but I think the front is much stiffer now, than when I installed it. It really doesn't feel good on buHow often should the oil be changed when used with Intiminators? I've written...

What's the fork oil volume in an xl1000 ('02 plate), and what would the standard oil weight (is that the right term) ? Carrying me round it feels a little soft, I think I'll go up an oil when I get it done.

Having blown a fork seal on my Scrapheap NX, I am going to replace them. I was wondering if anyone knows the weight and volume of the oil required in a Dominator's forks. I did a search and nothing came up and I don't have a manual for the old girl. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers ****

Hi All Anybody put Eibach for springs in there xr 400, any good, how did you go about, what fork oil weight did you end up with etc ?

Trannie says 5W, has anyone used 10W? Is it too thick? Or preferable using 5W and increasing quantity a tad? Too much can blow seals, I know. Cheers guys

I'm about to replace the fork seals on my 1990 Dommie. I see in the manual that ATF is the recommended oil, I have some 7.5 weight fork oil surplus just wondered if this would be suitable?
