I'm rebuilding my steering damper (actually i'm rebuilding the whole bike), and just wondering if anyone can tell me what weight oil i should put in it.???

Is it adjustable? if it is just go for a middle of the road weight oil, if its non adjustable you will need to play around with different oil till you find a level of damping you want... hope that helps.

cheers.. yeah it's adjustable.. so 10w fork oil will do then.. don't have to go out and buy special steering damper fluid. Felt like CRC in it before i pulled it apart :confused:
