2018 KYB Oil alternative
Hi,
Planing on doing fork maintenance, saw on the manual that the recomended oil is KY B 01M Oil, what would be an alternative oil from other brand like motul? Motul fork oil 5w? Thanks. |

Any 5w fork oil will work just fine. I typically use the Honda branded oil

Motul Factory Line 5W is very close on viscosity to the KYB oil and I have used it successfully in a number of different fork makes.

Yep, inner carts get 2.5w,outer get 5w.
I?m using maxima 3w in the inner cartridge,cst is 4.8@100 Celsius and 14.8@40c. Fantastic in rear shock too but at 50hrs,requires replacing.

5-7.5w is fine in outers,it?s primary job is lubricating the fork bushes and oil seals.
