Morning, got my k-tech springs fitted yesterday, definatley much better than stock but the mechanic did recommed using a slightly heavier oil.
I went for motul 10w from k-tech. Now the only other one they list is 20w do you think this would be to much of a jump, or should i try finding a 15w think mandp list a motul 15w as i want to stick to motul now as i know different brands vary slightly so dont want to go for a different heavier oil just to find it the same as the 1 i have.
Is it possible to syringe fluid out of the forks? i mentioned this to him when i got the bike back as i didnt really wanna pay again for him to take the forks off and drain them properly but he wasn't keen on that idea.
Also is it ok to mix 2 oils together? as thought if i got some 20w oil and mixed it with 10w in there to make something just over 15
any ideas, gonna have a proper blast this weekend to see how they feel properly first though
