Default Fork Oil Recommendation 2004 ec250
What weight oil would you guys recommend in the forks for hard terrain trail riding? Nothing serious as I'm too old for that now

Maxima 85-150 5wt oil. I've used it in all my bikes and that's Showa, KYB, and Marzocchi forks.

I would use whatever is in my YZ SSS forks fitted to my GG. Along with the forks. Much more comfortable.
