Centistoke ratings. This is handy!

[Drew]

So, I had to do a fork oil change for a mate tonight. Mr Taylor long ago informed us that it's the centistoke rating of a fork oil that is important, not the 'weight'.

Cool, how the fuck do I know what that is if it's not written on the bottle? Well, this wee gem will tell you.

Well done Drew! This is also a victory for you the customer actually wanting to do the job properly and not taking everything at face value

Rating suspension oil by SAE motor oil ratings has always been shonky and misleading.

Someone told me, it's good to use in two stroke engine gear boxes.

The factory race manual for Keirans 50 SX calls for Motorex ATF. Which is just a fucken expensive normal ATF.

Oh yeah, it was you that told me. The wee man's bike doesn't have a clutch though.

What the fuck lets it stop moving and still idle then? I submit the clutch on that thing works harder than any manual clutch bike. The fucken thing doesn't start to engage until the little bastard's wailing at 7K.

Don't be a cock. You know I mean the clutch isn't in the box, being lubricated by the gearbox oil.

[White trash]

No. Don't you be a cock. It is. In the box. Being lubricated by the gearbox oil. How fucking long would a dry clutch last?

[White trash]

Ah, actually I had a question that actually relates to this thread proper like. That Centistoke chart's mint. But how do I know what centistoke rating my bikes forks want.

Yes, but with much better lubricity and stability for the application. Normal ATF was never intended as a suspension fluid.

He means in the gearbox mate.

Yes, now seen. But still in suspension terms an important point
