If you read my little ride report you'll remember my fork problem. Since I'm
not going to be able to get to the lbs until Thursday I decided to check a
couple things myself. I popped to fork tube cap to check the oil height. It
measured 120mm which is actually higher than the recommended level. This
makes me think no oil has leaked or it was filled to high from the factory
or dealer and excess oil was pushed out. Does this sound like a good theory?
I think I'm going to give it another ride before I take it back to the lbs.
Manitou recommends using Motorex 5wt suspension oil. Is there any difference
in the 5wt oil they use for mtbs and motorcycles? I've used their oil in my
MX bike and keep a bottle of it around.
