fork oil change at SERG
« on: December 14, 2009, 02:08:13 AM »
Did anybody changed the fork oil ?
members from this site recommend to change to a 15w fork oil for a little stiffer ride .
 The stock fork oil seems to be a 7.5w , and the HD SE fork oil is a 20w and is too heavy .
Would it be possible that the change to 15w will eliminate the front end swimming at highspeed in long highway-curves?
( I would like to test this before making the step to new cartridges ) - just changing the fork oil .

Yes Klaus, I changed the fork oil on mine, and I did use the the heavier oil as you mentioned. 15w
, HD calls it SE performance. I haven't done any hard riding since I changed but got a 4k mile trip next week. Any time I've upgraded fork oil in the past it has stopped the swimming and diving, alot cheaper than some other options.

there are 2 SE types, 1-15w, which is performance, or 20w, which is racing, and of course, the straight HD type
