2018 KYB Oil alternative

eralha · #1 06-24-2019, 06:25 AM

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.

Has anyone tried 2.5w in their 18/19 kyb forks?
